PERATOR CONTROLLED PREVIEW
AND PLAYOUT TECHNIQUES
Xplay is the Vertigo Suite’s application for previewing and controlling the playout of content
that has been organized into playlists. Operators use Xplay’s Playlist Editor and Device
Views to view and control the playlist elements that are then cued and/or taken to the output
device(s).
To accommodate different control and playout situations, the layout of Xplay’s Playlist Editor
and Device Views can be configured for previewing and controlling the playout on one or
multiple devices.
The following sections instruct operators how to control the preview and playout of playlist
content on a single device, or manage the playout on multiple devices, multiple channels,
and/or multiple layers on a channel. An additional section describes supplemental tasks
that operators can perform to edit the content of playlist elements “on the fly”, as well as
other playout control and management techniques.
