{{Image("xp.png")}}
The X-Player (DS-00-007-15) has extended functionalities in comparison to former and mostly used two channel A-B Player systems] (DS-00-006-15) The X Player can deliver a sequence of elements ON-AIR as they are indicated in the [wikiDiDevDocDSIIModulesDS-00-005-15_ENG schedule (DS-00-005-15).
The player can be used in a system with several physical outputs (up to 4). The player window depicts a queue of elements with defined depth (contrary to a 2-track player, which shows only the currently playing and next elements). It is possible to edit the queue of elements inside the player. It is also possible to open cross-fade editor (DS-00-025-15) and to add new elements that are not listed in a schedule. It is possible to edit the cross-fade of element being played with the next element (2-track players don’t allow this).
1. X player features a new function:¶
A search for the start point for every element being loaded into queue. This mode can be supported effectively using a number of buttons on a computer keyboard or by a dedicated remote control unit – an external key panel. Another feature of this player is that it allows you to assign a certain physical output to audio element, for example, it lets you play musical elements via one output and voice elements via another. The signals for these channels can be processed separately by FM processors with different settings, providing better audio quality results in radio output. X player can distribute audio elements automatically by physical outputs according to their type (voice track, commercials, music, e.g.) and to the DB category to which they belong. It is possible to define this manually for a certain audio element either beforehand, during schedule preparation or element Meta data description, or in the player itself before actual delivery ON-AIR.
2. X Player Mode of Operation¶
There are 3 modes of operation for X player, distinguished by the degree of manual control provided by the operator: MANUAL, LIVE and AUTO. MANUAL mode assumes that the operator starts playback of every audio element by him or herself. In LIVE mode, playback is performed automatically, but can stop in special places of the schedule, if this was planned beforehand. The operator then has to launch playback manually. The operator may then influence the playback process at any time, either by starting the next audio element or by stopping that currently being played. LIVE Mode of the X player. is intended to allow the moderator individual control for creative freedom to personalize his ON-AIR show. The AUTO mode provides a full autonomous mode of operation. Broadcasting does not even stop at the special points mentioned in a schedule. The operator can employ a non-planned-gap filler if necessary. The player can be controlled remotely by "Fader Start" and "Cue" signals from the mixing console and from the external key panel. X player is mostly effective in the DB] based DIGISPOT®II systems and [wikiDiDevDocDSIIModulesDS-00-015-15_ENG voice track recording module (DS-00-015-15).
