The 3040P Playlist Playout System lets you get your commercial breaks to air fast under manual control. Play out a single clip, a whole list of clips, or stop at the end of a commercial break. Play out the next commercial break in the list, or scroll to another commercial break, then play it out. The 3040P is the ideal list playout tool when break times constantly change or happen at a moment's notice, such as during a televised sporting event. Quickly and easily create lists on the fly or use the optional Playlist Transfer Tool to transfer a list created offline on a computer into the 3040P. Edit the list while it is playing out on the 3040P, append, insert, & delete clips, or add breaks. Save the playlist in the 3040P's non-volatile memory for later playout. The 3040P is the simple, fast and easy way to playout commercial breaks from your video server after an automation system failure or when you don't have an automation system.
