| Route | Use for |
| --- | --- |
| A button's action binding | Operator control, on a panel or a Stream Deck key. |
| A reaction — then: playClip | Automatic: data changed, an event fired, the page went to air. |
| A clip trigger | Chaining one clip off another, or off a component event. |
| A rundown row's In / Out | Running a show in order. |

> **Note:** All five converge on the same play queue, so a clip behaves identically however it was started.
