Scheduler 2.0 with Quick Macros : Plugin Minimum Requirements Software: VT (4/5) or TriCaster (Duo/Standard/Pro/ProFX/Studio/Broadcast) OS: Windows Description Scheduler adds macro and date and/or time based playlist functionality for automated control of the VT and TriCaster. This opens up exciting possibilities for user operated and unattended live broadcast production. The -NEW- Quick Macro mode allows for -NEW- hotkey or mouse control of macros that can control just about every function on these systems. The Auto Start and Auto Play features give you immediate access on system startup with optional automatic play of the last used playlist. The various modes and extensive module control allow for a vast range of implementations such as: automatic video input cycling, broadcast programming, timed automation, and much more. In addition to standard module control, other functions such as DDR (VCR) and VT-Edit (Edit Deck) project loading, and playlist repeat, add even more flexibility. The Pause mode and event remove the guess-work in situations when you don't know when the next event will begin - such as when doing a live news broadcast. Pre-program the events that come before and after, and insert a Pause event inbetween. Start things rolling, the pause happens automatically, and when you're ready to go again... one click has you back on the automated schedule. Or you can also manually activate Pause, when the unexpected happens. The system consists of an Editor for creating/editing playlists on a local/networked Windows system, and a Player module for the VT and TriCaster desktop. Schedules can be created in three modes: Date / Time: Specific dates and times, with optional Repeat. Example: Jul 20, 2006 - 1:35:00 PM Time: Specific times, with optional Repeat. Example: 3:45:00 AM HMS: Time offsets from playback start, with optional Repeat and Pause. Example: 0h:12m:10s The Time-Shift edit function makes it super easy to reschedule a playlist or to change from one Date/Time Mode to another. And automatic Playlist Chaining allows you to access repeatedly used event schedules. An External Control Link allows communication with outside applications (see list below) to access additional features provided by the linked application. Note that Scheduler does NOT make use of unreliable keyboard shortcut simulation to control modules. It directly controls the modules to ensure reliability.
