Setting Story Start Times in a Rundown Queue
You can anchor a story in a rundown queue so that it has a fixed beginning time (also called a
hard start). All other stories will be timed relative to the story’s fixed time.
To set a hard start time for a story:
t Manually enter the story’s starting time in the backtime or cume time field.
Synchronizing a Story
When a show is timed and the events list downloaded to the devices, you are ready to broadcast
the show. To begin the broadcast, you must synchronize the first story. You can use the Show
Timing bar to track the progress of the show and synchronize the rundown to the actual
broadcast.

1. Open the queue containing the story you want to work with.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Click on a story.
3. Select Tools > Sync Timing (or press the space bar).
The highlight box moves to the next event.
4. Repeat step 2 to broadcast the next event.
Synchronizing the First Story

For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. Select Tools > Show Timing.
The first story is automatically selected.
