Element Conversion to Blank Elements
The following playlist elements will be converted to blank elements:
• virtual elements
• delay elements
• freeze elements
In case of virtual elements, the element will therefore never be available in the
timeline, even when it is restored on the server.
Audio Channel Assignment
By default, the audio channels are assigned as follows:
• The channels 1/2 are converted to G1 (4 channel- or 8 channel-configuration)
• The channels 3/4 are converted to G2 (4 channel- or 8 channel-configuration)
• The channels 5/6 are converted to G3 (8-channel configuration)
• The channels 7/8 are converted to G4 (8-channel configuration)
4.2.4 OPENING A TIMELINE
INTRODUCTION
There are different ways to open a timeline. This section describes the two modes
to open the timeline from IPEdit.
Prerequisites
In all cases, you first need to ensure that a timeline engine is assigned to IPEdit.
Conditions to Fulfil
The timeline can only be loaded in IPEdit if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The timeline contains the same number of tracks and channels as the local
server configuration.
If this is not the case, you cannot load the timeline.
• The timeline definition, at least, is stored on the local server.
If this is not the case, you can create a copy of the timeline definition and, if
requested, a copy of its elements.
OPENING A TIMELINE BY A DRAG-AND-DROP ACTION
When you open a timeline by dragging it from the Browser to the Timeline pane,
you will follow the procedure below
