continuing until the next log directive is found, are considered to be a part of the break. In

our example, this means the audio items are associated with the 20-past break.

XStudio treats Load Required and Load Optional directives in exactly the

same way.

If there are no audio items associated with the directive (meaning no carts

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.

For our example, the XStudio log would look similar to the screen capture shown.

Commercial Break Execution

Now that everything is set up, here's what happens when the satellite programming service signals a

commercial break sometime between 3:15 PM and 3:25 PM using our example Action and log:

XStudio locates the Action assigned to the commercial break closure, in this case the Action

named "CRM Commercial Break".

The first task in the Action's task list turns all channels on the "to-air" audio switcher row off

except the XStudio playback channel, which is turned on.

When XStudio receives notice from the running Action that we are to play from the log, it

locates the active directive (3:14 PM in our example) and checks to see if there are any

audio items associated with the directive. If so, the length of the break is communicated to

the running Action, which then waits for the length of the break before continuing to execute

the next task in the list. Meanwhile, XStudio starts audio playback of the first log item

following the directive (the Chevron spot in our example). As each audio item ends and

signals EOM, the next item is played, until all items in the break have played. In Satellite
