• Cue look ahead: Determines if Xplay cues elements on every device when a cue is
performed. Enabling this setting and then performing a general cue allows the element
that is selected for cueing to be cued first. Then a search is made for the next element
targeting each remaining device, starting after the selected element. Each element that
is located is cued, but only if it is not already cued. After a manual take, the next
element on the same device where the take occurred is cued.
If this setting is disabled and a general cue is executed, only the element selected for
cueing is cued. After a manual take, no element is cued on the device.
• Cue on Load Playlist: When this setting is enabled, Xplay automatically cues the first
element in the playlist when it is loaded. Note that if the C
UE LOOK AHEAD setting is
enabled, then the first element on each device will be cued.
When this setting is disabled, Xplay does not cue any elements when a playlist is
loaded.
• Verify Playlist: Determines if playlists are verified when they are loaded.
When this setting is disabled, the playlist elements are loaded into Xplay without going
through the verification process. However, when it is enabled, each element in the
playlist goes through the following verification steps:
• Checks if the assets used by the playlist element exist.
• Checks if the assets used by the playlist element require the completion of a Work Order
before they can be used.
• Checks if the assets used by the playlist element are published. If not, it initiates
publishing of the assets.
• The results of the verification are displayed in the Status column of the playlist element.
• Filter pages by device: Xplay is configured with a set of “devices” to which elements are
cued and taken. Each device is assigned a name that appears in the Device Views area
for that device.
Every element in a playlist specifies a target device with a name. By enabling the
F
ILTER PAGES BY DEVICE setting, when a playlist is loaded, any playlist element that
