18 Sending to Playback
The following main topics provide information about sending a sequence to a playback device:
• Specifying Send to Playback Settings
• Sending a Sequence to a Playback Device
• Sending a Mixed-Resolution Long GOP Sequence to a Playback Device
• Sending Master Clips or Subclips to a Playback Device
• The Progress Pane
• Interplay Services in the Media Services and Transfer Status Tool
Specifying Send to Playback Settings
When you are finished editing a sequence, you can transfer it to a playback device or playout server
for broadcast. This process is called send to playback, or STP. You can also send sequences created in
other Avid applications to a playback device if they are playable in MediaCentral UX. For more
information, see “Playback of Simple and Complex Sequences” on page 183.
When you send to playback, you use a profile that is created by a MediaCentral UX administrator.
You select a profile and other options in the Send to Playback Settings dialog box.
Starting with MediaCentral UX v2.6, an administrator can specify which users are allowed to send to
playback (STP). If you try to send to playback and do not have permission, the following message is
displayed: “Your user group does not have permission to send to any playback device (STP).”
Starting with v2.7, the User Settings include a Send to Playback page with an option that lets you
preserve the state of the Overwrite setting.For more information, see “User Settings” on page 532.
