Control Area: Gives an overview of the Playout at the current position of the Current Time Indicator (“CTI”), including the related information about the elapsed and remaining time, general warnings, and the status of the built-in playout engine (ONLINE). The control area also allows the user to skip the remaining part of the Video clip that is currently On Air (i.e., jumping to the next scheduled Video clip) and to see the Posterframe of the next element on air.
Timeline: Shows the Layers available with this Channel as well as the name and the elapsed/remaining time of the elements currently/next on air. It also allows you to add/change Video clips, Audio and Graphic elements. The visibility of the final output is defined from top to bottom.
Library: Divided into four tabs (plus the close button), the Library shows Video clips, Audio files, Graphic elements and saved Playlists. Related metadata will also be shown if available. There's also a search field and a preview at the bottom.
Calendar View: Gives a proportional overview of the rundown by showing the scheduled Playlists in a vertical Timeline. Jump back and forth by a full day using the “Arrow” buttons or the built-in calendar to go to any day in the future or past.
Workbench: Shows the rundown in a traditional list view, where the content depends on the Layer selection made in the Timeline.
Inspector: You can modify the attributes of an item that is already scheduled. Multiple selection of several items of the same kind are supported. In addition, you can change Channel related settings without restarting the Just Play Lite application.
The proxy Preview in the On Air window shows a compressed image with a reduced frame rate. In addition, the Preview can stop for a moment if the communication is interrupted, even when the real output is fine. This means that the Preview is not meant to replace a broadcast monitor for the final check of the master playout.
