In some production workflows, the playlist definition is based on a rundown
managed by a Newsroom Computer System (NRCS). The playlist definition is thus
automatically imported into IPDirector, whereas the clips themselves are not yet
available on the XNet network or on the GigE network.
In other workflows, the playlists are created manually in IPDirector, but some clips
will only be available on the XNet network or on the GigE network later on.
The playlist elements that are not yet available are created as virtual playlist
elements in IPDirector. Once an element becomes available on the XNet Network,
it is automatically associated and the virtual element disappears.
For more information, refer to the section 1.6.2 ‘Inserting Virtual Elements in a
Playlist’, on page 63.
