Controls

The system plug-in keeps track of which element is currently running (paused, in Avid-terms). If you click Play on the current element it results in a CONTINUE, while a play on all other elements results in a TAKE on the corresponding element (see To Play out from Avid MediaCentral® | Command).

The Avid MediaCentral® | Command controls map to the following behavior when triggering Vizrt graphics:
