Introduction Videos

Get in touch with PLAYDECK with these short video clips. Despite these being recorded with Version 3, they still show a great deal of how PLAYDECK can improve your workflow!

1. Dual-Output Video Playback

• For playback, choose professional output cards from e.g. Blackmagic, or a local graphic card output for easy use cases
• Place a graphic or video file as a continuous background when no clip is playing from the playlist

2. Advanced Playback Functions

• Use different fade effects for the transition between clips.
• Skip a clip from the playlist with a simple mouse click.
• You can play a single clip, multiple clips, or a whole block in the loop.
• You only want to show the beginning and the end of a clip during a rehearsal? Then use the Jump function with adjustable remaining play time.

3. Keep Control over your Show

• Use the Schedule Block feature within the playlist to get a countdown to the scheduled start time of each block
• When selected, receive visual and audible notifications shortly before or when the planned start time is reached
