3. Assign the new "CRM Return Liner" Action to the corresponding Relay Input on the audio
switcher. This in effect "connects" the Action to the satellite service's closure.
Like the Legal ID, the effect of these steps is that every time the satellite programming service sends
their Return Liner closure, so long as XStudio is in Satellite mode, XStudio makes sure the correct
audio input channel is "On" and plays the cart RL01.
Again, none of these steps taken by XStudio involve the log, affect anything else that might be on the
air at the time or any other audio XStudio is playing.
The Image Liner
By now, you probably know what you need to do since the Image Liner is similar to the Legal ID and
Return Liner, save with the exception of the cart number. Here are the steps:
1. Create a new Start Play task just like step two in the Legal ID. Use a different cart number,
"IL01". Name the Task "Image Liner" and save the task.
2. Create a new Action. Name the action "CRM Image Liner". Select the task "Ch 7 On" in the
available tasks table and drag it into the Action Task List. Then select the task "Image Liner"
and drag it into the Action Task List. There should be two items in the list and they should be
in the order "Ch 7 On", "Image Liner". XStudio executes tasks in an Action in the list order
and we want to be sure that the audio channel on the switcher is on before beginning
playback of the cart IL01. Notice we've simply reused the Update Switcher task we created
for the Legal ID, since we needed to achieve the same thing.

As with the Legal ID and Return Liner, none of these steps taken by XStudio involve the log, affect

The Commercial Break
Handling the example format's commercial break is quite different from the other functionality we've
programmed for XStudio so far. For one thing, it involves the log. Handling a break also requires we
take the program service audio off the air while playing the break, then restore it to air following
completion of the local break. For the commercial break to work correctly, we need to create an Action
that handles the audio switching and starts audio playback of the break, plus we need to ensure the
correct commercial break is played from the log.
Create the Commercial Break Action
Follow these steps to create the Action for the local commercial break:
1. Create a new Update Switcher Task. Name the task "CRM Local Breakaway". In the
Updated Switcher dialog, select the correct audio switcher. Turn row 1, channel 7 "On". Turn
all other channels on row 1 "Off". Change the Valid Modes option to be Satellite mode only
(uncheck all others). Save ([Apply]) the task. This task will be used to take the satellite
programming service off the air and ensure that the primary playback channel for XStudio is
on the air. Further, it ensures that no matter what, the only audio that will go to air is coming
from XStudio.
2. Create a new Start Play task. Name the task "Play Local Break". Make sure the Play from
Log property is checked (the default). Change the Valid Modes option to be Satellite mode
