Indicates the method by which the playlist item (i.e page, template or clip) be
cued to air. The Playout Type for playlist elements can be changed in the Playlist
Editor by right-clicking on the element’s P

the P

has completed (possibly with an offset).
•
H

S
TART
: The playlist element is played at the specified time of day.
If required, the currently playing element will be preempted. When a hard
start element is played the playlist is synchronized with the system clock.
The time of day is specified by entering it into the Offset column.
•
M
ANUAL
: The playlist element is played when a R
ESUME
command is sent
to the playlist. If this command arrives earlier than expected, the currently
playing element is preempted. If the command arrives later than expected,
the playlist waits before resuming playout. The R
ESUME
command can be
sent from the P
LAY
button in Xplay, or from logic in the Panel.
R
ECALL
ID
Displays the Recall ID for the page, template or clip, which is used as a shortcut
identifier for calling up pages and templates.
The Recall ID is originally created by filling in the R
ECALL
ID field on the S
AVE
dialog box when the page, template or clip is originally saved as an asset.
•
Shared pages: You can set or edit the page’s Recall ID property by right-
clicking the element in the playlist and selecting the E
DIT

command.
The shared page’s editing window appears, allowing you to type in the Recall
ID field. Click the S

P
AGE
,
AND
C
LOSE
button to apply the new Recall ID
value to the asset.
Note that each Recall ID value must be unique. If the new Recall ID value is
already assigned to another asset, an error message appears giving you the
option of either entering another value or overriding the Recall ID of the other
asset.
•
Embedded pages, Templates and Clips: You cannot edit the Recall ID
property for embedded pages, templates, or clips from within the playlist.
S
TATUS
A playlist element’s status cannot be edited from within the playlist. The status
changes only when the element is verified, cued, taken to air or cleared.
When the V
ERIFY
PLAYLIST
setting is enabled, each element in the playlist is
verified when the playlist is loaded to ensure that it is available and ready for use.
The results of the verification are displayed in the Status column for each
element. See
for more information.
