Start Attributes

Attributes to schedule and process show structures.

Start mode defines how an element is actually started. (behavior)

Unused	Used for comment lines.
Manual	The element can be started manually at any time.
Sequenced	The send element is started automatically at the end of the previous elements, taking account of the defined crossfade parameters. A manual start ahead of time is still possible at any time.
Start on time	Element starts at the specified time.
End on time	Element stops at the specified time.
External	Element is started by an external event. In addition, other events, such as fader/key start for an external started entry.
Relative	The element starts "relative" to another, i.e. with an offset or at the same time with a specific other element (depending on the definition).

Start type defines how the element is calculated in time (display with gaps, overlaps, etc.).

Unused	Used for comment lines.
Floating	The start time is calculated floating at the end of the previous element in the show list.
Variable	The start time is adapted dynamically within the specified time window. The start time remains fixed at the first value of the specified start time interval, provided a gap is calculated to the previous element. The time is adapted dynamically in case of an early start.
Fixed start	The start time is fixed at a specific start time point. Gaps and overlaps, which are calculated at the start time, are displayed accordingly.
Fixed end	The start time is fixed at a specific stop time point. A 'Start on Time’ is then executed by the TurboPlayer at the start of the start time calculated in reverse.
Fixed	The start time and the stop time are calculated as fixed parameters.
Back floating	Back floating (sequenced) elements can always be scheduled in front of "Fixed end" elements. The start time continues to be calculated in reverse.
Floating with offset	Offset for relative elements.
