Chapter 6 Working with playlists
Introducing Playlist application
In addition to playing a single clip, the K2 Media Client plays channels can also play
lists that contain clips and programs stored on the K2 system.
The following table summarizes and compares the basic features supported in playlist
application.
Basic Feature Description
Editing playlists Events in a playlist can be rearranged or removed,
and new events added between existing ones.
Editing events in
the list Events can be renamed and trimmed. Trimming
an event moves the mark-in and mark-out points.
This only affects the event, not the source clip.
Event
transitions Transitions between all events in a list is a cut, i.e.
the last frame of an event is followed by the first
frame of the next event.
Loop on a
section Sections are provided within the list to provide
flexibility during playout. A section can be set up
to loop indefinitely. The section can be taken out
of the loop by manual intervention.
Loop on a list Lists can be set up to loop indefinitely. The list
can be taken out of the loop by manual
intervention.
Pause at the end
of events Events can pause playout at their end. At event
pauses, you can choose to show black, freeze on
last frame, or freeze on next event.
Pause at the end
of sections Sections can pause playout at their end. At section
pauses, you can choose to show black, freeze on
last frame, or freeze on next event.
Saving a playlist
as a
program
Playlists can be saved as a program. This saves
the media and transitions, but nothing that breaks
the flow of playout, such as pauses. You can
insert a program into a playlist, or play a program
in the standard Player application.
GPI output
triggers The K2 Media Client provides 12 GPI output
signals through a rear panel connector for
controlling external equipment. You can
configure events in a playlist to trigger GPI
outputs. A GPI trigger does not disrupt playout of
the play events. GPI triggers can be set to occur at
the beginning or end of an event or section, or at
these points with some offset.
GPI Input
triggers You can assign any of the 12 GPI inputs to control
one or more play channels and the action you
want the K2 Media Client channel(s) to take—
play, VAR play, cue next event, or cue next
section, etc. AppCenter includes more extensive
GPI output trigger features.
