Protocols
14.1 PROTOCOL OVERVIEW
These protocols allow the server to be controlled by external devices.
Sony BVW75 protocol
This protocol allows the server to be seen as a VTR by the controlling device. On
a playback channel, all usual transport commands (play, PlayVar, pause, goto
timecode, pause, stop, etc…) are supported. On a record channel, only Rec and
Stop commands are supported.
This protocol is the simplest one but does not support clip management. It should
be used when the controlling device does not support the XtenDD35, Odetics or
Louth VDCP protocols (ex: edit controllers, NLE applications, some video
switchers, VTR controllers, etc.)
XtenDD35 protocol
This protocol is based on the Sony BVW75 protocol for all standard transport
commands. It has extended commands so that it supports clip management: using
this protocol, the controlling device can create, name, recall and delete clips.
This protocol can be used with Thomson/GVG XtenDD range of switchers, and with
DNF ST300-EVS and 4040CL-EVS controllers.
Odetics protocol
This protocol is based on the Sony BVW75 protocol for all standard transport
commands. It has extended commands so that it supports clip and playlist
management: using this protocol, the controlling device can create, name, recall
and delete clips, but it can also manage playlists.
This protocol can be used with many different control devices and automations
software, including DNF ST300 and 4040CL controllers.
Non standard commands in Sony, XtenDD35 and Odetics protocols on the play
channel of an EVS server:
REC: when a REC command is sent to a play channel, this channel will return in
