The Playlist
Use the Playlist area of the HD Player GUI to perform MPEG clip management functions:
•
Display and select clips which have been previously loaded on the HD Player’s disk drives
•
Add new clips
•
Copy clips
•
Set up clip sequences to run in a particular order. The order may be changed by simply dragging the clip
to a new position within the sequence
The Playlist also allows access to many of the powerful features and settings of the HD Player, namely:
•
The Clip Properties Dialog – This dialog controls Clip specific configurations
•
The Channel Properties Dialog – This dialog controls system configurations
The functions of these dialogs will be described in detail later in this manual.
Note: After Editing the Playlist or any of the Dialogs mentioned above, you must save the configuration to ensure
the Playlist is available when the HD Player is next restarted. See Chapter 10:“Configuration Files” for more
details.
The following figure defines the data that appears in the Playlist.
Adding a clip to the Playlist

dialog box, from which
an MPEG file can be selected. The Clip Properties dialog is described in a separate section below.
