„ Two Playlists. Two Outputs. One LSM Controller”

A common question I get from EVS operators is:
“Can I play two separate playlists — one on Output 1, another on Output 2 — using only one LSM-VIA or LSM-Legacy controller?”
The answer is yes, and it all comes down to the Playlist Mode setting.
To make this work, Playlist Mode must be set to Conditional. This allows you to:
Play Playlist A to Output 1
At the same time, play Playlist B to Output 2
Using just one controller, handling both outputs independently
If you also activate MixOnOneChannel, you can add smooth transitions and mixes between clips, taking your playout to the next level.
A simple setting — but it opens up a whole new level of flexibility for live productions.
