new playlist or load an existing playlist in the Playlist Editor, we recommend that you first
select an appropriate playlist view.

When Xplay’s Playlist view setting is set to N ONE , the Playlist Editor is not displayed in the
Xplay window and playlists cannot be manually loaded or displayed. This setting is used
primarily when Xplay is controlled through automation. See

about controlling Xplay using automation protocols.
Standard
When Xplay’s P LAYLIST VIEW setting is set to S TANDARD , the loaded playlist is displayed in
the Playlist Editor as a single list, showing all of its elements in the order in which they were
saved, positioned, or are intended to be sequentially played out.

Unlike the ByDevice view, Standard view can be used to control the playout on a single
device, or on multiple devices. See
page 4-1 for information and instructions on using
operator controlled playout techniques.
