TARGA (.tga)

24 or 32 bit format (16 bit format is not supported.) During transfer, the TARGA file will be split
into a Fill frame and a Key (Alpha) frame. These are saved as .tga files, each one frame in
length. The clip name for the fill frame is the base name of the .tga file, while the key frame has
this name with an appended underscore character. The resulting files will be available as MXF
files for subsequent FTP transfer.

Playlists (.lst, .txt)

A server playlist is a text-based file residing in the ‘lists’ directory. Playlists can be created off-
line and transferred to the server using FTP. See page 139 for further information on playlist file
editing and management.

As-Run Logs (.arl)

As-Run logs are available as a document of content actually played. They may be extracted
through FTP transfer. See page 65 for further information on using As-Run logs.
