Transition Effect Macro Command
When a macro command corresponding to a transition effect action (define
audio/video transition effect, define Still/Start mode, reset transition to default) is
applied to a playlist element, the macro command is applied on corresponding
elements from linked playlists.
L
IMITATIONS
In certain circumstances, the macro command will not be applied:
• In case of multiselection, the macro command will be applied to all the elements
of the selection, except when a macro command corresponding to GPI, Mute On
or Mute Off is linked to the current position.
• If the ‘Link to’ parameter is set to ‘current position’ and this position is not
known, because:
o
the playlist is off-line
o
the playlist is on-line but not loaded on a channel
o
the playlist element has been trimmed and the ‘Current Position’ selected in
the Settings is no more between the IN and OUT points of the element.
• If a GPI is not configured as OUTPUT GPI on the XT, an error message is
displayed.

LAYOUT
You can decide to skip one or more elements during playout. Proceed as follows:
1.
Press the SKIP button or the key when the playlist is playing
the element before the one you want to skip.
As the event on-air is highlighted in dark green; and the next event to air in
light green, elements which will be skipped are located between these two
highlighted lines.
2. Repeat step 1 as many times as you want elements to be skipped. If the
SKIP button is pressed twice, the next two elements will be skipped, and so
on.
