Auto Next
So far this section has described playing one clip at time using various attributes.
If you wish to string multiple clips together so they play out one after another the
Auto Next attribute may be used. Auto Next allows clips that are in order on the
PixPad to automatically sequence to the next clip when the outgoing clip reaches
the end of the file or out point. When Auto Next is enabled, Loop is automatically
disabled, however you may simultaneously use Auto Next and Auto Trans on the
same clip. This allows a clip to play to the end, then automatically transition the
program, then automatically select the next clip in the PixPad in preview. Or Auto
Trans may be enabled on the last clip of the sequence only enabling a basic clip
sequence to play then auto transition to preview. All these tools are useful in
sports, news and other applications where clips are constantly in use.
To set a clip to Auto Next:
1.
Order the desired clips in the PixPad using the Show Editor, as
described in Reordering, Adding, or Removing Content. Keep in mind
that multiple groups of clips may be set to Auto Next no matter where
they are located in the PixPad.
2.
Select the desired clip, and press the [Controls] button on any Clip
PixPad.
3.
Press the [Auto Next OnOff] PixButton, and the letter “N” will be
appended to the clip name in the large display to let you know that
Auto Next has been turned on for that clip, as illustrated below.
4.
To assign more clips in the sequence, select the next clip in the
PixPad and repeat steps 2 & 3 above.
5.
To turn off the Auto Next, select the [Auto Next] PixButton on the
desired clips until the display clears the N.
AutoAspect Controls
The clip store, as well all other graphic devices, have the ability to natively change
the aspect ratio of content, on the fly with no added delay or morphing. This is
ideal when mixing 16:9 content in a 4:3 show, or vice-versa. Each piece of content
in a channel can have its own aspect controls for greater flexibility.
