The Timeline shows all elements which are loaded in one of the available layesr layers of the Channel, but also those elements which are already playing out. This includes the element names, the elapsed/remaining time info and the ' "Play" button. The visibility of the final output is defined from top to bottom.

  1. Layers: Depending on the configuration of the Channel you will see Audio, Event, FX- and Video-Layers. The names of the Layers may differ from the ones seen in the figure above, as they have been defined by your system administrator while setting up the Channels. It is also possible that your Channel has more or fewer Layers than shown in this figure or that certain Layers do not exist at all. 

  2. Elapsed Timecode: Displays the elapsed time for each actual playing element. If a Layer does not contain any elements the timecode is 00:00:00:00.

  3. Current Item Name: Displays the name of the current item in the particular Layer.

  4. Poster Frame: Shows (if available) the poster frame of the current item in the particular Layer.

  5. Current Time Indicator (CTI): Shows the current Playout position.

  • Audio Element: Audio elements are represented by grey gray bars (or slices, depending on the Timeline scale). Audio items can only be placed on Audio Layers.

  • Graphic Element: Graphic elements are represented by grey gray bars (or slices, depending on the Timeline scale) with a gray triangle in case it has at least one stop frame in it. Only FX Layer compatible files can be placed on FX Layers.

  • Event Element: Event elements are represented by a yellow triangle. Event items can only be placed on Event Layers.

  • Simple FX Layer: In case a Simple FX Channel Bug has been defined, it will be on air by default and can be turned off for each element going on air in the video track. In case a Simple FX Live Bug has been defined for a channel using “Live Pass-Through by default”, the Live Bug will be on air by default and can be turned off for each element going on air in the video track. In case “No In” or “Default Black” has been used for this channel, the Live Bug will not be on air by default, but can be turned on for each element going on air in the video track.

  • Video Element: Video elements are represented by grey gray bars (or slices, depending on the Timeline scale) in the Video Layer. The bright blue part represents a finished action or loop.
