The Image Server can play video with seamless transitions from all three outputs. (Earlier software
versions had 2-channel modes and 3-channel modes; software upgrades now produce gap-free
playback under all conditions.) A 10-frame pre-roll is required to allow the server time to access
video data for playback.
Uses for Extra Server Ports
If a video port on the server is not designated for a purpose, there are several good uses it may be
put to that take only a small amount of extra work and resources, and enhance overall system
capability:
• A fully functional, wired, and running backup channel in the event of a problem on a video
output.
• A preview channel for independent browsing/viewing of a clip.
Concurrent Playback
All clips on an Image Server can be accessed concurrently by multiple applications. This means
for example, that a clip can be played on multiple channels; may be played while recording; or
may be transferred to another machine while playing. This can also be done on multiple channels,
allowing a single clip to play concurrently with several different offset times.
