Initialize the Playlist

An initialized playlist, initialized for the currently selected channel, has all its pages (i.e. the graphics which includes embedded video clips and imagery) loaded on the program Viz Engine for playout.

When activated and initialized the Media Sequencer is aware of the playlist’s schedule and is able to Run the Playlist.

A playlist may be initialized based on Rules (common for continuous playlists), Day Switch Options (common for broadcast day playlists) or manually by clicking the Initialize button (when the playlist is open and active).

To manually initialize the playlist
  1. Select your channel.

  2. Click the Playlists button.

    • All existing playlists for the selected channel are displayed.

  3. Open your playlist.

  4. Activate the Playlist.
