ECHANISM

When the END CUE mode is activated, the GPI is sent every time the playlist

stops, which means:

•

at the end of the playlist, except if the loop mode is activated and the start

mode option of the first element is set to Automatically.

•

every time a still mode option (Stop on Last, Stop on Last, Wait, Jump on

First or Stop on First) is set on an element.

Refer to section ‘Define Still/Start Mode Window’ on page 89 for more information
on these options.

End-Cue Characteristics

•

The END CUE duration is independent of the speed of the playlist. This means

that the GPI will be sent a period of time, corresponding to the END CUE

duration, before the playlist stops whatever the speed of the element may be.

•

The GPI is not necessarily sent during the playout of the element where the

playlist will stops as the END CUE duration can be greater than the element
duration.

•

The END CUE GPI is not sent if the END CUE duration is greater than the

remaining time until next break.

•

The END CUE duration as well as the END CUE GPI can be modified at any

time, should the END CUE mode be activated or not.

•

The END CUE mode is activated for a channel and not for a specific playlist.

•

The END CUE GPI and duration can be different for each channel.

•

The END CUE GPI is only sent in transmission mode, when the playlist is

being played out, not in Edit mode.

•

The END CUE mode is automatically turned off when the Multicam starts as

there is no reason to keep a mode from a previous use of an EVS server.
