| description | A method is described for scheduling a playlist from digital content supplied to a server in a multi-screen digital cinema theater, where the playlist includes components of the content stored in the server and represents a digital entity that is subsequently projected in the digital cinema theater. The method includes the steps of: (a) generating and displaying a table of playlists currently available for scheduling, each playlist displayed along with its r un time; (b) generating and displaying a schedule table showing a schedule view for each screen as an elongated timeline bar representing a time dimension, wherein t he elongated timeline bars for a plurality of the screens are arranged one adjacent the other relative to a displayed time axis to provide an overall perspective of the schedules for the screens of the theater; (c) selecting a playlist from the table of playlists and specifying a scheduled start time and a selected screen; and ( d) updating the schedule table by inserting the selected playlist as an elongat ed element into the elongated timeline bar for the selected screen, wherein the element starts at the scheduled start time and has a time dimension corresponding to the run time of the selected playlist, whereby the updated schedule table is used to schedule the selected playlist for the selected screen. |
