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
Fisrt or Stop on First) is set on an element.
Refer to section ‘Define Still/Start Mode Window’ on page 63 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 XT[2] server.

The Post-Roll is the ability to play an element a few seconds after its defined OUT
point, as far as there is enough A/V material in the guardband.
The purpose of using Post-Roll is:
• to provide a countdown until the OUT point of the playlist element through the
Remaining Time until Next Transition value to allow the operator to know
when to switch to another device, and
• to continue the playout after the OUT point in order not to freeze before the
operator performs the transition from the playlist.
