Just below is the PLAY LIST (Figure 3). Here you can create and control more complex
sequences such as highlight reels. These can include imported graphic, animation and
video elements, as well as music and full color Animation Store transitions.
Hint: The optional Single Pane mode combines the CLIP LIST and PLAY LIST tabs in one pane
capable of displaying many more events at once (see Section 6.4.2).

The Tags pane at the very bottom of the Replay Desktop (Figure 3) makes entering
values and comments splendidly quick and convenient.
2.6 FEATURES
Here’s a brief overview of just some of 3Play’s key features:
2.6.1 PHYSICAL

Rugged rack-mount case ensures robust and reliable performance in fixed or mobile
installations. (3Play 4800 and 440 only)

3Play 4800 (only) also provides redundant power supplies.

Massive storage capacity – e.g., a 2TB hot-swappable drive holds approximately 50
hours of 1080i, or 155 hours of SD video. (3Play Mini has two internal volumes for
capture. 1x 830GB, 1X930GB.)
2.6.2 MULTI-TIER FAILSAFE
3Play’s ‘Always on Air’ features provide multi-tiered redundant failsafe mechanisms in both
hardware and software. To name just a few:

Multiple software failsafe systems continually monitor and safeguard the live
performance. Any recoverable software error conditions are quickly and unobtrusively
dealt with.

When enabled, video pass-through (see Section 7.1.2) ensures that as long there is AC
power, audio and video from the last input are routed to Output 1 in a case of
catastrophic software condition.
