Xplay can be configured to load a specific control panel into the Toolbar Panel upon startup.
Simply specify panel asset in Xplay’s S
TARTUP P ANEL setting (see page 6-14 ).
3. To playout of the specified device, Xplay’s Toolbar Panel must be actively connected
to the device. Therefore, ensure that the connection LED in the Toolbar Panel is green.
If the LED is red, see
page 2-16 for instructions on reconnecting to the device.

panel’s editable fields and control buttons and/or the panel will receive events during
playout and react according to the programmed logic.

Xplay can be configured to send events to a control panel using keyboard shortcuts. The
keys used to send the events are C

Reloading and refreshing playlist elements
If the loaded playlist or one of the playlist elements that is currently cued has been changed
by another user on a different workstation, you can still obtain the latest saved version
quickly and easily at any time by reloading the playlist or element.
When the A UTO RELOAD PLAYLISTS command is enabled and Xplay detects that the
currently loaded playlist has changed, it automatically reloads the playlist. However, if this
setting is disabled and Xplay detects that the currently loaded playlist has changed, the
R
ELOAD button in the Playlist Editor’s toolbar turns orange and you must click the
R ELOAD button to reload the playlist (see instructions below and “Reloading the playlist” on
page 3-37 for more information).
