XStudio 3254

Backtimer Notes

Here are some additional points of interest that apply to the XStudio Backtimer:

1. When calculating the remaining playable log content, it is always calculated forward from the

current "Next-to-Play" position on the log to the end of the current actual clock hour. If the Next-

to-Play item is in a previous hour, remaining content is the sum of playable items between Next-to-

Play and the end of the current hour on the log. If Next-to-Play is an hour beyond the current hour,

as might happen when starting a log item for the 3:00 PM hour at 2:59 PM, the remaining current

hour log content value is zero.

2. Only items playing in Deck 1 are used in backtimer calculations. Items that might be played ad-hoc

on Decks 2, 3, or 4 are not used in calculations.

3. To be included in the remaining playable log content, the log item must be present in the audio

inventory. Missing audio is not included in calculations.

4. if Enforce Cart Dates (in Preferences) is enabled, then in addition to being in the inventory, the log

item must also be valid for today’s date to be included in calculations.

5. Hourly time calculations look strictly at log content for a given hour without regard for Hard Sync or

Cast-Off (Soft Sync) directives. The calculation assumes that all playable content will be played to

completion.

6. If multiple items are playing on Deck 1, only the last-started element is used in the calculation.

7. If the Display Countdown to Aux Mark option (in Preferences) is not enabled (the default), the

backtimer value will have a tendency to change a bit even though the log has not changed. This is

particularly true when XStudio is transitioning from one item to another. The backtimer value is

based on calculations to the Aux Mark, so when transitioning from one audio item to another, the

backtimer value will decrease slightly (the difference between the Aux Mark and actual audio end)

and then increase slightly - the difference between the Aux Mark and actual audio end of the new

item. Depending on the audio item currently playing the backtimer value could be off by several

seconds. To increase accuracy, turn the Display Countdown to Aux Mark item (in Preferences) on

(checked).

8. The maximum calculated hourly length is 23:59:59 (essentially one day). If calculations produce a

greater value, errors will occur.

9. If no log is present, the backtimer will display remaining time in the hour minus any item playing on

Deck 1.
