Edit Clock Window

The name of the clock.

The colour of the clock as displayed on the Schedule Clocks window.

Determines how the clock functions within the scheduling system. There are two types:

 

Standard - A standard clock is a full hour-long template that can be scheduled directly onto the Schedule Clocks window. Standard clocks contain all the items that will make up an hour of programming.

Partial - A partial clock is a reusable 'mini clock' that contains a sequence of clock items designed to be inserted into other clocks. Partial clocks cannot be scheduled directly but are instead inserted into standard clocks using a Partial Clock item. This allows you to define commonly used sequences (such as a top of the hour sequence) once and reuse them across multiple different clocks. Partial clocks require the Advanced Scheduling module.

The list of items in the clock. Each item features its approximate play time, type, settings, segue flag and notes. Clock item rows are highlighted with different colours depending on their type or track group, making it easier to visually distinguish between different elements in your clock at a glance. To duplicate an item, select it and press CTRL+D. You can also copy a clock item with CTRL+C and paste it somewhere else with CTRL+V. Click and drag items to re-order them in the list.

The approximate play time of a clock item is determined from the sum of the all the previous item durations. The duration of each item varies on the choice of settings - the duration of a track group item is determined from the average duration of all the tracks in the group. A fixed time marker will cause the play time to reset to the fixed time.

The segue style to apply to the scheduled playout log item. If '--' then the default will be used. For tracks marked as sweeper the default from Settings will be used.
