Figure 61: Playlist resources
The Playlists button displays the available playlists on the Media Sequencer.
Media Sequencer playlists can be created in VCP; however, in most cases playlists
are created by newsroom systems that are monitored and played out by the VCP
client or other control applications such as Viz Trio or Viz Multichannel.
The newsroom playlists are stored on the Media Sequencer, and updated through
the Viz Gateway or Viz Device Manager. Viz Gateway supports most newsroom
systems that support the MOS protocol. Viz Device Manager only supports Avid
iNEWS Control Air.
• Modified: Shows the date and time of when the playlist was modified.
• Name: Shows the name of the playlist. Name is enabled by default.
• Profile: Shows which profile each playlist is configured to use.
• State: Shows if the playlist is active or inactive. When set to active, and the
playlist contains video clips, the Media Sequencer will trigger transfer of video
clips to Viz.
Note: Viz Content Pilot 4 compatible playlists are no longer supported by VCP
versions 5.4 and later.
