A corresponding icon will be displayed if an external device scheduling is set (Logo, Titler, GPI, Overlaps, RDS). Each device has its icon, which can be seen in Etere Scheduling while creating/editing schedules.

VTR                                                        

Information related to the status of a VTR, which has an assigned event, is displayed. The warning icon will be displayed if the event isn't programmed on any VTR. A tape icon would be displayed if the event tape was recorded on the VTR.

Splits                                                

Displays information regarding split commands attached to scheduled events:

-Shows the date and time of the split that will be performed

-Indicates that the split event has an invalid command and, therefore, it will be ignored. If there are two consecutive split events, Etere Automation will ignore the split of the second event.
