Creating an External A/V Playlist

Using the external audio/video feature is a great way to insert
external programming and special events into your presentation
mix using the Firefly Media Player network. This feature allows
you to schedule live audio and video playback, such as a satellite
or cable television broadcast, or switch to local or national
programming in the event of breaking news or an emergency. The
"scheduling" of the external A/V events is accomplished by
inserting the external A/V event(s) into a playlist and then
scheduling the playlist using the schedule editor.
NOTE
External Audio/Video is an optional feature enabled
by a pre-programmed Smart Card.
If your Firefly does not have the External A/V feature
(menu items are "grayed out") and you would like to
purchase it, contact a Visual Circuits representative
at 1-800-250-5533.
NOTE
Genlock must be turned on in the Firefly system
settings for external audio/video switching to work
properly. See Genlock on page 79 for details on how
set this parameter.
If you do not genlock to the video input, the Firefly
system will turn this parameter on temporarily for the
duration of the playlist; however, note that this
temporary setting switch may cause picture roll to
occur at the beginning and/or end of the playlist.
