Scheduling a Playlist, Overlay or Video Input

The schedule a Playlist, Overlay or Video Input, click the ‘New’ button at the bottom of the Schedule Editor. This will open the following form:

 

 

This form gives you three options for scheduling Playlists, Live Video and Overlays:

You can choose to schedule a simple Playlist or Video Input. Choose a Playlist by clicking the Playlist dropdown. To setup a live video input click here.

 

You can also combine a Playlist or live video when constructing an Overlay by adding a Media object. An Overlay is a collection of media and other dynamic elements (for example a text ticker). To see how to do this click here. The Playlist or Video Input you have chosen above automatically plays in the Media object in the Overlay (click here to see how this is done).

You can also schedule an Overlay that contains no Media playback. (An example of this would be an Overlay that consists of a background image and RSS news feed tickers.)

 

The ‘Select Time Range’ frame allows you to enter a time range in which you would like to play your scheduled media. The ‘Append’ and ‘Insert’ buttons determine where you would like the new scheduled item to appear on the schedule list.

 

 

To add a schedule item (‘Playlist B’ in example below) between ‘Playlist A’ and ‘Playlist C’ click ‘Insert’.

 

 

 

To add a schedule item at the end of the list (‘Playlist D’ in example below) click ‘Append’.
