MULTIPLE LISTS

Interlinear has the ability to work with multiple playlists.  Up to 240 clips can be stored in its internal memory, and these clips can be distributed in any combination in separate lists.  Lists are accessed by number, starting at 1.  Lists are limited by the amount of free memory, but in the extreme, as many as 99 short lists can exist if each list contains just one clip. 
When Interlinear memory is full, the last clip (in the list with the highest number) will be deleted automatically to make room for an additional clip.  In this way, operation will never be hampered by "memory full" warnings.  We recommend that you use high list numbers for temporary lists, and low list numbers for more permanent lists.

Selecting a List to Play or Edit

Press the LOAD LIST key.  A menu similar to the ports menu will appear.  The current list number will be shown.  To cancel this function and exit without altering the current selection, press either the LOAD LIST or MENU key.  To select a different list, key in the desired list number and press ENTER.  The desired list will appear on Interlinear's display immediately, downloading to Clipbox will commence, and the first frame of the first clip will appear on Clipbox output after a few seconds.  The download operation can take up to 15 seconds for a full list (99 clips), and no other actions can be carried out while download is in progress. 
Any changes that you make to the current list will be saved automatically.

Selecting a Blank List

An empty list can be selected as above, by entering a list number that is known to be blank.  At present there is no directory information for lists, so notes should be kept. 
As Clips are added to the blank list, they will be saved automatically.

InterCart Upgrade

If the InterCart Upgrade is installed, there is also a special cart list numbered 0.  This playlist can store clips for distribution among the four channels that InterCart supports and can be programmed manually or by a Host Automation System with an RS422 Cart Driver installed.  When list 0 is selected the InterCart functions are enabled automatically, and when another list is selected the InterCart functions are disabled automatically.  See the InterCart section of this manual for more details.
