4. Message Log: Xplay’s Message Log window alerts you to possible errors or operational
events that may impede or adversely affect your playout. For example, the Message Log
will alert you if Xplay’s connection to the Xmedia Server (XMS) or to an output device is
disconnected or re-connected.
The Message Log window is conveniently displayed as a floating window upon start up
and each time a new message is added to the Message Log.
You can hide the Message Log window by clicking the window’s C
LOSE button . To
reopen the Message Log window at anytime, select the V IEW >O PEN M ESSAGE L OG
command or press C TRL + M.
Rather than a floating window, the Message Log window can be set as an embedded
window in the Xplay interface (figure
2-3 ). To embed the Message Log window, set the
Tools>Settings>Layout>Show embedded message window setting.

Emergency Alert System (EAS)” on page 8-1 for more information.
6. Xplay’s Status bar: Xplay’s status bar identifies the name and status of the currently
loaded playlist, as well as Xplay’s connection status to the Xmedia Server.
The following table describes the possible status information that is displayed in each
of the categories:
The X logo indicates that a basic Vertigo Suite playlist
is loaded in the Playlist Editor. The logo is followed by
the playlist’s name.
The asterisks beside the playlist’s name indicates that
unsaved edits have been made to the playlist.
