Add Start Offset (Virtual Black Leader)
In film, black leader is used to provide a brief interval
between different content. This often is used simply to
provide pacing to the sequence of content being presented,
e.g., between trailers or between the last trailer and the
feature start.
In Digital Cinema, “black” can be either the absence of the
playback of any Content (virtual black
1
) during
presentation or it can be actual black content supplied as a
CPL included in the DCP. Virtual Black is realized by
creating a Start Offset for the following Content Element.
When creating a Start Offset, provision is made for
establishing a duration of the of the offset. When Black is
actual content, its duration is of a predetermined length and
the Content Type should be “transitional
2
”.
To add a Start Offset to the Playlist, tap Content , tap either
the Scroll Up or Scroll Down arrow until you
locate Black , tap Black to select, and then tap Add . The
ENTER GAP DURATION popup appears.
The duration of the Start Offset (virtual Black Leader) is
set using the ENTER GAP DURATION popup. This
duration is an absolute value and adjusts the start time of
the following Playlist Element in relation to the end time
of the preceding Playlist Element. To enter a value, tap the
target, i.e.,
Hours , Minutes , or Seconds , and then tap (or
touch-and-hold) either the Plus or Minus to
