Active: Tick off this parameter to enable the secondary event, leave it unchecked to disable it.

Name: Give it a brief descriptive name.

Execute command: Set the time at which the secondary event will start, possible values are:
• after the event start (SOM)
• before the event end (EOM)

Video File: If the video file is selected, it will be possible to browse for locally/network stored video files (i.e.: wmv, avi, etc) as well as define its duration,

Asset: Use it instead of the 'Video File' option if it is intended to use an video/file belonging to an asset already existing in the system,

Set loop until the end of the event: If this parameter is enabled, the video will last till the end of the main event, otherwise (not checked) the video will last only for its duration.

Note: In case the asset assigned for being overlaid to the primary event is not available (i.e. not yet recorded or archived) a warning will be displayed in the playlist's icons column to warn the operator about this issue.
Moreover, archived media will be automatically restored -as for primary events- by Etere Aligner.

Media Library [F7]: Positioned on the toolbar, this button allows to open the Media Library, loading the asset related to the primary event for which the secondary event is being defined.


ONLY with Radio Live Automation

Two options have been added in the Video Over Secondary Event. 

8434_intro_outro

• Execute the command according to the Intro
• Execute the command according to the Outro: if the duration of the VO file is smaller than outro, the file will play from
“song duration”-“VO duration”. This way the VO will end with the end of the song.

The asset to assign to the VO can have a Video File or an Audio File. In this case will be an Audio file.
You can insert 2 VOs in a single event: the first according to the Intro and the second according to the Outro.
In the Executive Editor have been added the following columns: Intro, Outro, Fade In, Fade Out.
If the duration of VO file is bigger than “INTRO + PREV OUTRO” or “OUTRO + NEXT INTRO”, a warning will be displayed and the Secondary Event will be disabled.
The rule, to assign the start time to the VOs and manage the warnings, is executed by a stored procedure which is launched at each publication.
