USING PLAYLISTS
Image Server’s Playlisting software provides an extensive set of capabilities for building, editing and
playing complex sequences of program content. Advanced Playlisting appears as on-screen
windows, with a clean Graphic User Interface that makes it easy to run with no extra equipment. It’s
invaluable for building commercial breaks, news rundowns, still-store and clip lists. You can create
and store as many playlists as needed, each with its own unique name. For many users, Advanced
