Changing Duration of Clips in Playlist

Make sure the EDIT checkbox is checked in the Playlist View window. Position the cursor over a
clip and right-click. Select EDIT DURATION from the pulldown menu. Enter a duration in the
Duration window. The minimum duration is 4 seconds. The entry may be in one of these
formats:

• Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frames entered as HHMMSSFF

04300102 = 4 Hours, 30 minutes, 1 second, 2 frames

• Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frames entered as HH:MM:SS:FF

03:39:41:17 = 3 Hours, 39 minutes, 41 seconds, 17 frames

• As a whole number along with the special characters H for hours, S for seconds, M for minutes. 7H

would set 7 hour duration. 31m would set 31 minutes. 15s would set 15 seconds.

NOTE: The Clip duration is affected only within the Playlist, for this event. The duration of the source
clip is not changed. Other events containing the same clip are not changed.

Mapping GPO to Playlist Events

The MAXX-2420-EX has twelve General Purpose Outputs, referred to as GPO 1 through 12. Any
of these can be programmed to go active at a pre-determined time, or offset, after the beginning
of a Playlist clip. An active duration can also be set, after which the output again goes inactive.
In all cases, every output will go inactive when a clip ends. By default, a new clip contains no
programmed GPO output commands. Refer to Appendix A – Connector Specifications for details
on electrically interfacing to the GPO lines.
