Playlists
The PGM channel is necessary for playing transitions between playlist elements, when
using channels which do not support the "Mix on one channel" functionality.
The preview channel can be used to preview clips or trains, or playlist elements in order to
trim them on a different channel than the one that the playlist is being played to air from.
Clips
The PGM/PRV mode allows you to play several clips "back to back", with transition
effects.
When single clips or trains are loaded on the PGM and the PRV channels, they can be
transitioned manually. The TAKE function shifts from the current media on the PGM
channel to the media on the associated PRV channel using the Take Effect settings as
defined in Tools > Settings > Clips > Take.
See section "Loading a Media with the Take Function in PGM/PRV Mode" on page 61.
How to Set the PGM/PRV Mode
The PGM/PRV mode can be enabled in two ways.
• From the Channel Explorer: refer to chapter "Channel Explorer".
• From the Control Panel: right-click the Player field and select Mode > PGM/PRV.
Playing Timelines in IPEdit Mode
The IPEdit mode is the player channel mode used to play timelines.
When the "Mix on one channel" functionality is supported, a timeline loaded on a player
channel will played with its transition effects.
Loading a timeline on such a channel automatically sets it to the IPEdit mode:
Another element can be loaded and the system automatically unlocks the channel from
the IPEdit mode.
When the "Mix on one channel" functionality is not supported, the timeline must be loaded
on an odd player channel (PGM1 or PGM3) to be played with its transition effects. The
IPEdit mode can be manually enabled from the Channel Explorer or automatically by
loading a timeline on an odd channel controlled from a Control Panel. The mode is
mentioned in the title bar of the Control Panel.
