5.
Item Column
This left-most column displays sequential clip numbers within a playlist, and also a SKIP
checkbox which, when un-checked, will skip over a clip, while leaving it in the playlist.
6.
GPO Column
The GPO column shows whether a general-purpose control output, (number 1 through 6) is
programmed to become active during playout of a clip. (An Image Server provides six GP
outputs on a rear panel connector, which may be used to control switchers, character
generators or other devices.)
Time Displays, Buttons and Check-Boxes
The following buttons and check-box icons also appear in the Playlisting window:
PLAY / PAUSE
(toggle)
When a Playlist is stopped, PLAY will cause the currently cued clip to play from its start.
When the Playlist is in PAUSE mode, PLAY will cause the Playlist to resume playing from the
current location. PAUSE stops the Playlist immediately, on the current frame of a clip.
STOP/SHOW
The Playlist will stop and video will go to black. The current clip will be re-cued from the
beginning. When a clip is cued, the button legend changes to SHOW. Pressing it will display the
first frame of the cued clip.
CUE
When a Playlist is running, CUE immediately prepares a selected clip for playback.
