Preparing to preview and playout on a single device
Before using Xplay to preview and take a playlist to air on a single device, we suggest that
you perform the following preliminary configuration and verification procedures to ensure
that Xplay is properly configured and setup:
1. Verify that Xplay is currently in the OnAir-Preview layout and that the On Air and
Preview Device Views are assigned to the desired devices.
Figure 4-2. OnAir-Preview layout displays two Device Views: On Air and Preview
If Xplay is not in the OnAir-Preview layout and/or the proper devices are not assigned to
the Device Views, consult
“Adding and connecting Xplay to playout devices” on page 2-8
and follow the configuration procedures for a single device and OnAir-Preview layout.
2. Verify that both the On Air and Preview Device Views have a green LED next to the
device name to indicate that they are actively connected to the devices.
If the LED is red, follow the instructions on
page 2-16 to reconnect Xplay to the device.
3. Ensure that the Keyer State button of the On Air and Preview Device Views are both On.
The Keyer State button allows you to control whether the device’s keyer is on or off. When
the keyer is On, the Keyer State button is pink, which indicates that the loaded element
is actively displayed on the device. When the keyer is Off, the Keyer State button is grey,
which indicates that the loaded element is not being displayed on the device.
To change the Keyer State:
• Double-click the Keyer State button
Or,
• Right-click on the Keyer State button and select the T
URN K EYER O N command.
