13.5.2. Modifying the Playout Sequence in Auto-Play
Mode
Various transport functions are available in Auto-Play mode, to shift the Auto-Play order to
an element that is not the next one in the sequence.
The following transport functions can be executed:
Preload an element Double-click an element in the Database Explorer to preload
it on the player channel.
Then press the Play shortcut key (P) to play the element.
Load & play an
element immediately Select an element to load on the player channel and play
immediately.
Load & play an
element after the
current one Pressing the CTRL key while clicking an element plays the
selected element after the current one is played out.
13.5.3. Using Auto-Play Mode in Several Database
Explorer Windows
You can open several Database Explorer windows and use them in Auto-Play mode with
the same player channel or with different player channels assigned.
If different players are assigned, they will be considered as independent from each other.
Using the Auto-Play mode in one of the windows will not affect the second Database
Explorer window.
If the same player is assigned, the Database Explorer window on which the Auto-Play
mode has been used last is considered as the master window. It has the lead over the
player channel.
Using two Database Explorer windows assigned to the same player channel leads to the
following possible situations:
• When the operator performs a search on the master Database Explorer window, the
current element is played out and the first element of the search results is
automatically chained.
• When the operator performs a search in the secondary Data Explorer window, this
does not impact the Auto-Play in the master window. The operator needs to activate
the Auto-Play to take the lead over the player channel and start playing the elements
in Auto-Play mode.
