Clock Management
Clocks are hour templates used to define how an hour of playout content should sound. When a clock is scheduled, the playout log will generate items to schedule based on the clock item. The clock can have a number of clock item types:
Track: The playout log scheduler will always insert the selected track in this position in the playout log.
Track Group: The playout log scheduler will randomly choose a track from the selected track group to insert in this position in the playout log. When scheduling the playout log, any playout policies will be taken into account.
Fixed Time Marker: The playout log scheduler will insert a fixed time marker in this position in the playout log.
Break Note: The playout log scheduler will insert a break note to include in this position in the playout log.
