OnTheAir Video - Fabl

The OnTheAir Video device controls Softron OnTheAir Video playout, so your rundown can select the right playlist and roll the right item as the show advances.

Connection

Provide the playout machine’s host and port.

Commands

Command	What it does
Select playlist	Selects a playlist by name, index or unique ID, and starts it
Cue item	Cues and plays a specific playlist item, by index or name
Skip next	Skips to the next item on the active playlist
Get current item	Reads the item now playing

Skip next can be limited to live-flagged items only, so a rule advancing the playlist steps past anything not meant to go to air.

Get current item returns what is on air rather than changing anything, so it can be used in a rule condition - for example, to only fire a graphic when a particular clip is playing.

State and triggers

The device reports its connection state and raises a trigger when the connection changes.
