Playback: More Options

Last updated 6 August 2026

Situational pages for the Playback stage. None of these is a step — open one when your setup calls for it, and skip the rest.

What lives here

  • Following an external clock — chasing incoming LTC timecode so playback follows something else.

  • Driving an external clock — sending timecode out of Backstage so something else follows it.

  • Several servers in step — frame-accurate playback across machines, with PTP and the Observer.

  • Transitions — crossfading between two events on the same channel.

  • Worked examples — a straight playlist, and a full multi-step show with end actions, held steps and a looping running order.
