C-PLAY AUDIO PLAYOUT SYSTEM
C-Play is a unique cost option that integrates a file playout system into your console’s architecture, replacing expensive
separate Cart machines, and integrating the set-up into the console’s project system to allow complete show recall. The
playout system can deal with mono, stereo or 5.1 ‘Cuts’ (audio files) and simplifies the task of automated production by
allowing a completely integrated system.
C-Play Overview
C-Play is accessed by touching the C-Play button (shown left) which is located in the User Toolbox at the base
of the touchscreen.
C-Play has two players, both accessed through the same window. The 1 Player 2 button switches control between the
players – the side of the button which is lit indicates which player is active. The Master Scroller’s left and right buttons can
also be used to switch control between players. Both players can be playing at the same time.
Each player can be in V-Cart or Freeplay mode: V-Cart mode allows all of the console’s Cut files to be listed and triggered
either as individual Cuts, or as Playlists (sequences of Cuts), using a standard folder architecture navigated using the Master
Scroller; Freeplay mode allows quick-access, single-touch triggering of up to 96 Cuts per player, with Player 2 able to play
two Cuts simultaneously.
Note that C-Play requires the console to be running at a sample rate of 48kHz.
C-Play Formats
Player 1 is able to play mono, stereo and 5.1 Cuts, whereas Player 2 is able to play mono and stereo Cuts.
Note that if you play a 5.1 Cut on Player 2, it will be played out as Dual Mono (in other words, it will folded down to mono
and played out on both stereo channels)
