Using Playlists
MAXX-2400HD’s Advanced Playlisting software provides extensive tools for building, editing
and playing complex sequences of program content. Advanced Playlisting appears as on-screen
windows, with an intuitive Graphic User Interface that makes it easy to operate without extra
equipment. It’s invaluable for building commercial breaks, news rundowns, still-store and clip lists.
The server will create and store as many playlists as needed, each with its own unique name. For
many users, Advanced Playlisting may be all that’s needed to go to air.
The following features are included:
• Drag-and-drop playlist building and editing on a graphic interface
• Edit lists while they’re running
• Start at any point in a list
• Displays run time for clips, plus segment length and total remaining time
• On-the-Fly commands for Pause, Skip, Hold, Next and Jump functions
• Append a playing list with a saved playlist
• Up to 12 programmable GPI Output events embedded in playlist clips
• Programmable time-of-day start for a playlist
• Generates an As-Run Log
• Setting rules for deleting old material on the playlist
• Simple text format allows playlists to be created, viewed and edited offline
• FTP access allows playlists to be transferred between servers, or to/from a PC
