The on-air time is one of the parameters which can be displayed in a column. It is
then mentioned for each element and provides information about when an element
will be played out to air.
The on-air time calculation takes into account:
•
The start time and position in the playlist
•
The effect durations in the list
•
The speed of the elements in the playlist
If the on-air time cannot be calculated (e.g. due to still and start modes used in
the list) ‘--:--:--:--‘ is displayed
