Configuration Manager 2-11
Rewind Compile Material: After the final spot on a compile tape plays, the automation
system rewinds the tape before ejecting it from the VTR. The tape is rewound to the first
commercial break (or “pod”) minus the preroll. Default is disabled.
Extended Time to Next: The Time to Next functionality has been enhanced on a transmission
play list. Default is enabled.
The major Time to Next enhancements are:
◆ When the termination event is an O (hard start) event the Time To Next display
includes the running short value.
◆ Zero duration up counters no longer stop the rippling.
◆ When in an up counter, if an O event exists as the termination event, the Time To
Next computation computes without any long or short value. It displays exactly
how long until the hard timed start begins.
Thread Limited: A new list configuration, Thread Limited is available for controlling
threading on a list. By enabling the Thread Limited option, non-threaded but blue
(registered) events count toward the total thread time as if they were threaded. Default is
disabled.
Auto Restart When Cued: Allows a missing event to automatically start when cued. If
disabled, the automation system marks the event as missing and does not automatically
cue the event when located. Default is disabled.
