Preparing to preview and playout using the Multi-Device layout
Before using Xplay to preview and take a playlist to air on a multiple devices, channel and/or
layers, 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 Multi-Device layout and that appropriate number of
Device Views are displayed and assigned to the correct devices.
Figure 4-5. Verify the Multi-Device layout, Device Views and device assignments
If Xplay is not in the Multi-Device layout, the proper number of devices are not displayed,
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 multiple devices and Multi-device layout.
2. Verify that all of the devices in the 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 each of the Device Views are 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.
