Enter timestamps in ISO 8601 format, yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss, 

with an optional “T” instead of the space between the date and 

time. Timestamps are interpreted in the default time zone of the 

TSBroadcaster or as the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) if a 

“Z” is appended.  
Examples:   
2005-09-10 17:15:00 - This timestamp indicates quarter past five 

in the afternoon on the tenth of September 2005 in the 

TSBroadcaster default time zone (with daylight saving if 

applicable). 
2005-10-31T01:30:00Z - This timestamp indicates half-past one 

in the morning on the thirty-first of October 2005 in the UTC 

time zone. 

Enter Playout durations in hours, minutes, and seconds using

scheduling applications by clicking and dragging on a time 

chart as described in View Scheduled Playouts in Chapter 6.
