1.4.4. Loading a Playlist
Introduction
Off-line or on-line playlists can be loaded on a player controlled by the Control Panel and
its content is therefore displayed in the Clip-List tab. When the Control Panel is asso-
ciated to a player channel, off-line playlists will automatically become on-line and distant
playlists will automatically be copied to the server of the controlled player channel. When
the Control Panel is associated to the Software Player, off-line playlists remain off-line.
To be able to play the playlist with its transition effects, it must be loaded on a player
channel supporting the "Mix on one channel" functionality or on the PGM channel of a
PGM/PRV channel association. See section "Channel Modes for Playout with Transition
Effects" on page 42 for more details.
How to Load a Playlist from the Control Panel
You can load a playlist from the Clip-List tab if you know the playlist name or LSM ID. To
load a playlist on a player channel or the Software Player from the Control Panel interface,
proceed in one of the following ways:
• Enter the playlist name in the Playlist Name field of the Clip-List tab and press Enter.
• Enter the playlist LSM ID in the Playlist LSM ID field of the Clip-List tab and press
Enter.
Note
When the users enter only two digits in the LSM ID field, e.g. "1" and "5", and
press ENTER, the system automatically loads the local playlist if it exists.
How to Load a Playlist from the Database Explorer
To load a playlist on a channel from the Database Explorer, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Control Panel and assign a player channel or the Software Player.
2. Open the Database Explorer from the main menu.
3. In the Playlists view of the Database Explorer, select the requested playlist in the
Elements grid.
4. Drag it to the Playlist Name field of the Clip-List tab.
Note
Dragging it into the clip-list grid would insert the playlist into the previously
loaded one.
