Graphic Tab: Lists graphic files from the repository folder(s). Only graphic files with one of the supported suffixes are shown: composition, qtz, js, jscomposition, png or jpg.
Event Tab: Here you can find router and GPIout events (if they 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.
Playlists Tab: Lists all previously saved playlists. Playlists can be made using just:play but also Final Cut Pro compliant XML files saved in the playlist folder will show up here for immediate use. Once a playlist is dropped into the workbench, all movies will have the "play next" finished action assigned to them automatically.
Metadata Columns: Depending on the selected tab you will see more or less metadata columns. 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 Area: Shows a preview of the currently selected movie and allows you to the set the in-point as well as the poster frame of a movie. Use the mouse to preview movies and some graphic items. Under the "Events" tab the preview button changes its functionality and its icon. In this case clicking the "+" button allows you to build a new router control/GPI event.
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.
In/Out-Point and Poster Frame Control: See next chapter.
Item Sorting Order Button: Click on this button to change the sorting order (from A...Z or from Z...A) of the selected tab.
Open/Close Preview Button: Pressing the preview button shows or hides the preview area.
Refresh Button: Click on this button to refresh the content of the library. This is useful in case your disk storage does not support file system events and therefore the content is not updated automatically in some situations.
