Introducing the Playlist application

In addition to playing a single clip, AppCenter play channels can also play lists that contain clips and programs stored on the K2 system.

The following table summarizes the basic features supported in playlist application.
Basic Feature Description
Editing playlists Events in a playlist can be rearranged or removed, and new events added between existing ones.
Editing events in the list Events can be renamed and trimmed. Trimming an event moves the mark-in and mark-out points. This only affects the event, not the source clip.
Event transitions Transitions between all events in a list are made by a cut, i.e. the last frame of an event is followed by the first frame of the next event.
Loop on a section Sections are provided within the list to provide flexibility during playout. A section can be set up to loop indefinitely. The section can be taken out of the loop by manual intervention.
Loop on a list Lists can be set up to loop indefinitely. The list can be taken out of the loop by manual intervention.
Pause at the end of events Events can pause playout at their end. At event pauses, you can choose to show black, freeze on last frame, or freeze on next event.
Pause at the end of sections Sections can pause playout at their end. At section pauses, you can choose to show black, freeze on last frame, or freeze on next event.
Saving a playlist as a program Playlists can be saved as a program. This saves the media and transitions, but nothing that breaks the flow of playout, such as pauses. You can insert a program into a playlist, or play a program in the standard Player application.
GPI output triggers AppCenter provides 12 GPI output signals through a rear panel connector for controlling external equipment. You can configure events in a playlist to trigger GPI outputs. A GPI trigger does not disrupt playout of the play events. GPI triggers can be set to occur at the beginning or end of an event or section, or at these points with some offset.
GPI Input triggers You can assign any of the 12 GPI inputs to control one or more play channels and the action you want the AppCenter channel(s) to take— play, VAR play, cue next event, or cue next section, etc. AppCenter includes more extensive GPI output trigger features.
