Overview

Playlists are lists of items that can easily be played to air. Playlists can play scenes, images, and clips all from the same list. You can have many playlists open and playing simultaneously.

Configure Playlists

  • ID: The ID is the number that is used to play the item to air from the keyboard. If the scene, image or clip does not have a “Message ID” associated with it the playlist will assign the next available ID. Scene and Clip “Message ID’s” are assigned from the Scene property editor.

Pressing 555 and hitting the Enter key will load the NASCAR clip from the playlist.image282.png

Expanding the item by clicking on the Right error next to the ID will expand the item to show any Control Panel items for this Scene. From this view, you can trigger buttons or do text, image and clip overrides.
