Scheduling cues and playback
Using Picturall media servers, both single and occurring events can be scheduled based on date and time.
Schedule can be defined for a cue in stack or playback. The server supports various conditions for scheduling
cue playback.
- After creating cues and adding them to a cue stack playback, right click on target cue and set the trigger
type to timecode and define
Wallclock as the timecode provider
.
- Then select Scheduling from the contextual menu. This will open the cue scheduling dialogue.
Tip: Cues can be scheduled to repeat and if no repeat is defined, the cues will run only once.
Supported scheduling conditions for calendar repeat:
•
Day of the week (any combination of weekdays)
•
Day of the month (any or specific day of a month)
•
End of repeat (last date of calendar repeat)
Supported scheduling conditions for repeat within day:
•
Enabled
•
Every X hours/minutes/seconds
•
Stop time
Common scheduling conditions:
•
Start date
•
Start time (mirrors timecode)
Scheduling conditions can be combined in arbitrary ways. For example, a cue can be scheduled to repeat
from two o’clock to five o’clock, every 5 minutes, on Fridays and Saturdays.
Scheduled cues are indicated by an icon ( for repeating, for non-repeating) in cue playback view.
Note: Only the first occurrence of the repeating schedule is listed in playback view, and the cue is listed based on its timecode even when
its scheduling conditions prevent it from running next.
- For a scheduled cue to run, it must have trigger type timecode and it must be in a playback with Wallclock as the selected timecode
provider. Date information required for scheduling is not provided by other timecode providers. With different timecode provider, the cue
will run when its timecode will match the provider’s timecode, but schedule will not be used.
