2.3 FILL AND KEY PLAYLISTS
2.3.1 PURPOSE
This chapter is intended to highlight specificities of Fill and Key playlists.
Most of the operations performed on a Fill or a Key playlist are done in the same
way as for Normal playlists. References are therefore made to the chapter ‘Playlist
Panel’, describing in details the Playlist Panel interface and all the procedures
about playlist management, playlist editing and playout effects and parameters.
Refer to section 1 ‘Playlist Panel’ on page 1 of the current manual.
Th
e differences will mainly reside in the behavior of the system when an action is
applied on a Fill or a Key playlist or playlist element and on the resulting action,
or absence of action, on the corresponding Key or Fill playlist.
Note
Virtual elements cannot be used in fill and key playlists.
2.3.2 FILL AND KEY PLAYLISTS MANAGEMENT
CREATING FILL AND KEY PLAYLISTS
Fill and Key playlists can be created on-line or off-line exactly like Normal
playlists. Refer to section 1.5.3 ‘Creating Playlists’ on page 32 for more
inf
ormation.
In the New Playlist window, the user can define the type of the playlist between
Normal, Fill or Key.
When the playlist type is defined as Fill (or Key), the system creates both a Fill
playlist and a Key playlist.
