Page 9 V4.2/6 Software Update UDIO LAYOUT YSTEM C-Play is a unique cost option that integrates a file playout system into your console’s architecture, replacing expensive separate Cart machines, and integrating the set-up into the console’s project system to allow complete show recall. The playout system can deal with mono, stereo or 5.1 ‘Cuts’...
Page 10 C100 HDS Software Update C-Play Routing and Channel Assignment C-Play’s two players can be routed as a normal audio source, using the console’s standard rooting procedures (See Section 5 of the main Operating Manual). By default, the C-Play sources are located in the Misc group, simply labelled CPlay 1 and CPlay 2, but can be moved to any other group in the normal way.
Page 11 V4.2/6 Software Update Note that, on systems with a redundant core, a Sync button will be displayed between the Playlist and 1 Player 2 buttons whenever the Master is in operation. See ‘Redundancy Synchronisation’ for more information. Lists display titles in alphabetical order, and the list is navigated using the Master Scroller: Use the Scroller’s left and right buttons to switch between players, then use the Scroller to move up and down the list of entries.
Page 12 C100 HDS Software Update Playing Cuts in V-Cart To play a Cut, locate the Cut with the Master Scroller so that it is outlined in red, then press the scroller. The entry will go yellow, and if the Player is playing no other audio, the Cut will start to play.

V4.2/6 Software Update Looping Playback If the Loop button is not selected, the Cut will play once and stop. If Loop is selected, the Cut will loop until it is stopped using the Stop or Pause buttons.

Page 15 V4.2/6 Software Update Auditioning Cut Edits The play button in the centre of the window is used for auditioning the Cut’s start or end edit points, depending on whether the Start or Cut Tail button is active in the window. Note that the audition play function is replicated by the Master scroller push-switch.
Page 16 C100 HDS Software Update Saving Edited Cuts The Save button in the Cut Edit window simply saves the Cut with its edits under the same name. Pressing the Save button on a Cut which hasn’t been saved before will cause a keyboard to appear, in which the Cut can be named before saving.
Page 17: Playing Playlists
V4.2/6 Software Update Playing Playlists Playlists do not play automatically when selected – locating a Playlist and pressing the Scroller only loads the Playlist for playing.

Page 18 C100 HDS Software Update Where there is no fade in on the incoming Cut (in other words, when its fade in time is set to 0), the fade in will start when the previous Cut’s fade out finishes: Cut 2 starts when Cut 1 fade out finishes See ‘Editing Cuts’...

Page 20 C100 HDS Software Update Playlists can be set to either play through the list of Cuts without pausing, or to pause between each Cut until it is manually triggered. This is done using the Auto/Manual button beneath the Save As button: To cause the Playlist to play without requiring manual triggering, set the button to Auto (button lit).
Page 21: Freeplay Mode
V4.2/6 Software Update Freeplay Mode To enter Freeplay mode from V-Cart mode, use the 1 Player 2 button to select the correct Player, then touch the Freeplay button towards the top right of the C-Play window. The Freeplay display will open, and the Channel Information Display for the player’s fader strip will display a green Play button, as shown to the right.
Page 22 C100 HDS Software Update The transport symbol indicates the current status of the Trigger’s transport, as follows: Stopped; Playing; Paused; Playing, looped a specified number of times; Playing, looped continuously; (or any other number) Queued for play. The value indicates the position in the Trigger queue.
Page 23 V4.2/6 Software Update Each Cut can only be assigned to one Trigger – an arrow symbol (>) to the left of a Cut indicates that it has already been assigned to a Trigger. The Find button serves two purposes: It can be used to locate the Cut already assigned to the current Trigger, or to open the Trigger Setup page for the Trigger associated with a particular Cut.
Page 24 C100 HDS Software Update Transport Control Options Overview Transport controls can be accessed in the following ways: 1. The function of the Master Scroller during playback is context-dependent: – If playing a single Cut in V-Cart, without Follow On selected, the Scroller restarts the Cut. If Follow On is active, the Scroller adds the Cut to the playout queue again.

Page 26 C100 HDS Software Update The four letter name given to these functions in the channel displays all start with the Player number (1 or 2), followed by a three letter shortening of the function. In the case of Freeplay triggers, the Player number is followed by F, then a two digit number reflecting the Trigger number.
Page 27: Redundant System Operation
V4.2/6 Software Update Playlists are stored in standard .m3u format. Note: this means that Playlists can be created and edited offline using a text editor. However, we do not recommend attempting this unless you are familiar with .m3u syntax. C-Play Backups C-Play’s edit data, triggers and playlist files are included in a system backup.
