between the directive and the next directive), XStudio will skip the break entirely
in Satellite mode regardless of the directive type.
If there is at least one audio item associated with the directive, XStudio will play
the break in Satellite mode. You must ensure that you have enough audio
elements to "fill" the break - if the scheduled break length is 3 minutes, you
must have 3 minutes of content scheduled on the log. There is no automatic
backfill of audio to meet the required length.
Load Optional Directive (LS)
The Load Optional directive is used primarily in Satellite mode to indicate a commercial break that can
optionally be used by the local station or, if there are no commercials, skipped and the program service
kept on the air.
The behavior of XStudio in terms of handling this directive is the same as the Load Required directive
handling.
Load Play Directive (LP)
The Load Play directive has special meaning in Satellite mode only. If XStudio is in Satellite mode
when the directive is activated, the first audio item (cart) on the log following the directive begins
playing immediately, followed by any other audio items on the log up to the next log directive.
If you have previously used a DCS or Maestro system, note that you should
not use a Load Play directive with the time-approximate or cast-off
Directive Key in Satellite mode, as might have been done with these other
systems. Instead, use standard directives in XStudio's Automation mode.
In all other modes of operation, the Load Play directive is handled in the same way as the Load
Optional directive.
Load Window Directive (LW)
The Load Window directive is used to set the Current Voice value in XStudio. This value is used in cart
numbers using the cart macro "##".
To update the Current Voice value using this directive, you must enter text in the directive Description
field somewhere after the first character. The "$" character is used to designate the location of the new
voice value. For instance, to change the Current Voice value to "BJ", enter the following:
Bill Jones $BJ
Notice that the new voice value is designated with a "$" character followed by the two-character value,
which can be either numbers or letters.
You should not use other documented macro characters when setting the
Current Voice value, as they will produce unpredictable and likely unwanted
results. XStudio translates the two characters following the "$" symbol literally
when updating the Current Voice property via the Load Window directive.
The Load Window directive is active in all modes of operation.
