2.6. Playing Video Playlists
2.6.1. Video Playlists
Video playlists are defined by the video configuration disc, or its equivalent, if delivered through the
network. The playlists loaded on the XD10 can only be changed by providing a new configuration file.
The configuration may contain up to eight unique playlists.
2.6.1.1. Slide-loop Playlist
The slide-loop is a special type of playlist that may be played before the Preshow playlist. The slide-
loop is a series of images, video clips, and audio clips that continuously loop until the Preshow playlist
starts. The Preshow playlist may be started by menu, automation, or an automated start time
determined by the video configuration. When the Preshow start is given, the XD10 finishes the current
clip of the slide-loop before beginning the Preshow playlist.
2.6.1.2. Preshow and Intermission Playlists
The Preshow playlist is normally shown before the film starts. The Intermission Playlist is normally
shown during the film intermission period. The timing of automation events may be programmed
individually for both types of playlists.
2.6.1.3. Playlists C through G
Playlists C through G do not have a predefined purpose. They are available if there is a need to have
separate playlists. The timing of automation events may be programmed individually for each of these
playlists.
2.6.1.4. End Slides
In some cases, an “end slide” is used as the last clip in the playlist. When the end slide is used, the
playlist does not automatically stop. Instead, the image continues to appear until the XD10 receives
the video Stop command, or the Video Inhibit signal.
2.6.2. Start and Stop Video Playlists
There are two ways to start and stop video playlists: using menu commands or using automation.
2.6.2.1. Start and Stop Video with Menu Commands
The XD10 menus may be used to start or stop a video playlist. See Chapter 3, Playback Menus, for
details.
2.6.2.2. Start and Stop Video through Automation
Functions to start and stop the video are also available through the menus or by automation
commands. The function must be assigned to one of the automation pins through the XD10 setup
menus. See the section on Pin Definitions in the Audio Setup section of Chapter 7, System Setup
Menus, for reference.
