The Library shows a filtered view of the repository folders defined for this channel. Each tab shows the content of the repository folders in a similar fashion as the Finder's list view (including media related metadata).
...

Events
Here you can find router and GPIout Events which have been defined by the system administrator before. Such elements can be scheduled at any time by dropping them into the Event Layer in the Timeline.
...
The Library lists all elements which are available (depending on the selected tab) for playout on your system. The Metadata Columns show – depending on the selected tab – more or less metadata. You can rearrange and change the width of the columns by moving the elements in the header area. Metadata elements which are shown in red do not match the current playout format and will be changed automatically once added to the rundown. Red colored aspect ratio information means that the aspect ratio does not match, red colored codec information means that the field order does not match.

Preview and Control
...
Preview Area: Shows a preview of the currently selected element and allows you to:
Video: Preview the Video (Audio is played out using the System Audio device)
Audio: Listen to the audio file.
Graphic: Preview a Graphics file. In case it has a stop frame, the stop frame will be handled like On Air.
Event: No preview. Instead you can click the "+" button at the bottom to build a new router control/GPI Event.
Playlists: No preview.
Search Field: Allows you to search for files and related metadata in the repositories. Click on the magnifying glass to select the metadata column you want to use for the search.
Control Buttons:
Trim Window: Select a Movie and click this button to open the Trim Editor.
Open/Close Preview: Shows or hides the preview area (if available for the selected element).
Refresh: Refreshes the content of the Library. This is useful in all situations where the content of the Library is not updated automatically. This can be the case because your disk storage does not support file system events or in situations where the metadata sidecar file is not generated correctly. In this case, pressing the refresh button only writes new sidecar files, but does not overwrite already existing sidecar XMLs.
