IN Zone -
Delay This defines the delay which is applied to the selected element when the
element is on air within the playlist. If the delay value exceeds the train
remaining capacity, a warning message will be displayed. The value
entered by the operator is still accepted, as the capacity could be made
available before the element is on air, by removing some clips stored on the
selected server.
IN Zone
– T/C IN This defines the timecode from which the train will be played on. If the T/C
value is greater than the on-air T/C of the element, a warning message will

one of the following values:
• unknown

Introduction
You can insert manually a virtual element in the playlist. This makes sense when you

element is not yet available on the XNet network (still in post-production or not yet being
restored from the archive, for example).
How to Insert a Virtual Element in a Playlist
To insert a virtual element in a playlist, proceed as follows:
