Playing Clips from a Playlist
The commands to execute a playlist can be performed over a single MVCP control
connection. Some control implementations may find it easier to use a unique MVCP
control connection for each unit. The commands and the order in which they are sent is
identical in either case.
1. Create a unit on the media port.
% UADD port
202 OK
U1
2. Create a second unit on the same media port.
% UADD port
202 OK
U2
3. Load the first clip into U1.
% LOAD U1 clip1 OUT
202 OK
clip1 movie/dif/dvcpro 108969984 108969984 00:00:00.00
00:00:30.08 * * 29.97 19990415T004204.435814Z CL
4. Cue U1 with a mode that will return when the command is placed in the command
queue.
% /SEQA CUE U1
200 OK
5. Play U1 with a synchronization mode where a response will be returned only when
the unit has started executing the command.
% /SEQA /SYNR PLAY U1
200 OK
6. Load next clip into U2.
% LOAD U2 clip2 OUT
202 OK
