Import Options

  • Import Secondary Events as Reference: When checked, all secondary events associated to Pages will be imported as Referenced Pages.

  • Allow assuming page id is Pilot Data Element as fallback: When checked, any secondary element with an page id that is numerical and that does not have a corresponding entry in the Page Pool or Action Pool, will be assumed to be a Pilot Data Element, stored in a Pilot Database, and the import process will create a Pilot Data Element reference page in the playlist.

  • Skip adding Secondary Events coming via schedule that has an offset exceeding the Primary: If the resulting offset is beyond the duration of the Primary Event, skip adding the event to the playlist.

  • Treat duration, TimeCode and time given as integer value as frame count: If a value comes as a integer override default behavior that is assuming the value is a frame-count.
