| Clip List |
Associate a video server with either Clip List A or Clip List B, or
use the Floating list. Clip lists A and B are cached for fast access when the associated video
server is selected. Each clip list can only be associated with one physical device. |
| Cmd Queuing |
Select whether the switcher requires a confirmation message from the video server for each command
(Strict), or not (Relaxed). For Strict, the switcher will re-send a
command (as set by the Send Tries value) until it receives a confirmation message from the video server. |
| Cue & Pause |
Select whether the switcher sends a pause command immediately after a cue command (Yes), or
not (No). This allows you to have the video server cue a clip and advance it so that you can
preview the first frame of the clip. |
| Eject Clip |
Select whether the video server ejects the current clip before it cues the next clip (Yes),
or not (No). |
| ExtendedChar |
Select whether the switcher allows non-printing characters (extended character set) for clip IDs
(Yes), or replaces the characters with spaces (No). |
| Frame Rate |
Select the framerate that the server is currently operating in. |
| LoopMinLength |
Select the minimum length of a clip, in seconds, that can be looped. The minimum length is three (3)
seconds. |
| LoopRecueTime |
Select the amount of time, in frames, before the end of a clip that the switcher sends a loop command. |
| MediaIDLength |
Select whether the video server uses clip IDs of up to 8 characters (Short IDs), or up to 32
characters (Long IDs). |
| Panel |
Select the control panel, in a MultiPanel system, that the device is connected
to. |
| Playback Mode |
Select the playback mode that your video server is using.
- PB — your device does not go to Electronic-to-Electronic (EE) mode.
- PB/EE — if your device does go to EE mode. If you select this option, you enable the
serial device to automatically go into PB/EE mode. If a stop command is issued, the device enters EE mode. If a
pause command is issued, the device stays in Playback mode.
|
| Play Skip Q |
Select whether the switcher sends a play command immediately, skipping all other commands in the queue
(Yes), or puts the play command at the end of the command queue
(No). |
| Play w/Alpha |
Select whether the switcher plays both the video and alpha channels from a video server
(Yes), or only the video channel (No). Both the video and alpha input
BNCs must have the video server assigned to them, and must be set up as an auto key to associate the video with the
alpha. When set to yes, the switcher does not check the status of the video server channels before sending the play
command. |
| Port Cmds |
Select whether the video server supports (Yes), or does not support
(No) the Open Port, Select Port, and Close Port commands. |
| Protocol |
Select whether the switcher communicates with the video server using the serial protocol (Serial), or the ethernet (TCP_CHN) protocol
(IP). |
| Record Time |
Select the maximum number of minutes that the Video Server will record for when it received the Record custom
control command. |
| Send Loop |
Select whether the switcher sends loop commands to the server (On) or if the server handles
the loop status (Off). |
| Send Tries |
Select the number of times that the switcher will try to send the same command to the video server if the switcher
has not received a confirmation response. |
| StatusInterval |
Select the amount of time that the switcher waits between status check requests of the video server. |
| Status Tries |
Select the number of times that the switcher will send a status check request to a video server without getting a
ready response. |
| TargetMachine |
Select the video server that you are assigning to the selected communications port. |
| TimeOut |
Select the length of time, in fields, that the switcher will wait for a reply from the Video Server before trying
to send a command again. |
