Add an Intermission to a Play List
When an intermission automation event is encountered during playback, the main feature pauses at
the intermission event and the intermission play list plays. When intermission playback finishes,
playback of the main feature resumes.
1. Create an intermission play list and add the content you want to play during the intermission.
See Create a Play List on page 69 and Add Content to a Play List on page 70.
2. Tap Menu > Christie IMB > Play Lists.
3. Select the play list with the content you want to play during the intermission in the Selected
Play List list.

11. Tap Accept.

Typically, an intermission runs in the middle of a feature. For example, to add an intermission in
the middle of a feature running 2 hours and 30 minutes, you enter 1 in the Hours field and 15 in
the Minutes field.
The time offset must occur 60 seconds from the start or the end of a feature. If you enter a lower
time offset value, an error message appears in the Edit Playlist Item window.
