Infinite Page Duration—Select this option to make the page remain on screen until it is
specifically replaced by a different page. Subsequent pages can be made to appear
manually or under control of an external GPI device. When you play the page, it per-
forms its IN transition, then remains on screen until you press Enter (on the key-
board) or PowerScript receives a GPI trigger. At that point, the OUT transition occurs,
and the next page comes on screen. (Note that when you use the Infinite Duration
option you cannot animate the page.)
Time-Based Duration—Select this option to play the page for a specific amount of
time. Enter values in the SEConds and FRames text boxes to specify how long you
want the page to play. When you play the page, it performs its IN transition, remains
on screen for the amount of time you specify, then performs the OUT transition to
end the page sequence.
Roll and Crawl Options—Select these options to have the page roll or crawl across the
screen. Several different options are available for roll and crawl.
