The top area contains the following indicators:
6.2.0 The Wall Clock
In the upper left-hand corner is wall clock indicator, which indicates the current system
date and time. The style used for displaying times throughout RDAirPlay can be toggled
between 24 hour “military” format and the traditional “AM/PM” presentation by clicking
once on this display. If the system administrator has enabled it, this display will also
flash RED to indicate possible clock inaccuracy due to loss of master clock
synchronization.
6.2.1 The Post Point Counter
Immediately to the right of the wall clock is the Post Point Counter. A post point is an
attribute applied to a log event with a hard time type. The post point counter uses this
information to display countdown and timing information.
The counter can be in one of four possible states: Idle, On Time, Under Time or Over
Time. If the next upcoming hard timed event does not have its post point attribute set,
then the counter will be in Idle mode (see Illustration 26). If the attribute is set however,
then the counter will provide an estimate of how “on-time” the log currently is, on the
basis of the current time and events still scheduled to be played.
If the playout is such that the post point will be reached within one second of its
programmed time, then the counter will be in On Time mode (see Illustration 27). The
value shown in the square brackets is the scheduled time of the point point.
