Grouping Channels
You can group channels to provide simultaneous rolling, redundancy,
or multicasting. When you play a grouped playlist in the control
channel, the active playlist simultaneously plays in each grouped
channel. The active playlist in each channel is indicated by the red
position arrow. For redundancy, load the same playlist in two
channels. For multicasting, open different playlists.
You can also group channels by using a GPI to command the channels
to play. The system must include a V-LAN VLX or Avid GPI controller
to use GPIs.You can connect a single GPI controller to the control
channel to command the grouped playback channels to play, stop,
recue, or skip. However, GPIs on the control channel will always
command the currently selected channel or channel group. You could
also connect GPI controllers to each playback channel. The advantage
of connecting a GPI controller to each channel is that the system does
not have a single point of failure. For information on using GPIs, see
the Avid AirPlay UserÕs Guide.

Before playing a group playlist, make sure that each channel is in Standby
and Auto Mode.
