USING PLAYLISTS
Image Server’s Playlisting software provides an extensive set of capabilities for building, editing and
playing complex sequences of program content. Advanced Playlisting appears as on-screen
windows, with a clean Graphic User Interface that makes it easy to run with no extra equipment. It’s
invaluable for building commercial breaks, news rundowns, still-store and clip lists. You can 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 Playlisting software has the following features
and benefits.
• 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
• Six programmable GPI Output events embedded in playlist clips
• Programmable time-of-day start for a playlist
• Generates an As-Run Log
• Set rules for deleting unneeded material on the playlist
• Simple text format allows playlists to be created, viewed and edited offline
• FTP access allows playlists to be transferred between Image Servers or to/from a PC
