Introducing Playlist mode
In addition to playing single a single clip, the iDDR play channels can also play lists
that contain clips and programs stored on the iDDR. Playlist mode is supported in
both front panel and workstation operating modes, however, workstation operation
extends the playlist features available.
The following table summarizes and compares the basic features supported in playlist
mode for both front panel and workstation operation.

and new events added between existing ones.

an event moves the mark-in and mark-out points.
This only affects the event, not the source clip.

Event transitions Transitions between all events in a list is a cut, i.e.
the last frame of an event is followed by the first
frame of the next event.

Saving a playlist
as a
program
Playlists can be saved as a program . This saves
the media and transitions, but nothing that breaks
the flow of playout, such as pauses. In both front
panel and workstation operation, you can insert a
program into a playlist, or play a program in the
standard player mode.

GPI output
triggers The iDDR provides 6 GPI output signals through
a rear panel connector for controlling external
equipment. You can configure events in a playlist
to trigger GPI outputs. A GPI trigger does not
disrupt playout of the play events. GPI triggers
can be set to occur at the beginning or end of an
event or section, or at these points with some
offset.
