Synchronization Mode (Switch To In)

The Synchronization mode allows users to define how they jump from one camera to the
other. The Synchronization mode is available in the secondary menu from the main LCD
display, using the B soft key.

If the Synchronization mode is OFF (SW to IN is not highlighted in the secondary menu), a
request for camera change will produce a jump at the same timecode on the requested
camera. This mode allows synchronous change of camera angle.

If the synchronization mode is ON, a request for a camera change (by pressing CAM A,
CAM B, CAM C, or CAM D in the Multicam menu) will lead to a jump to a predefined
CUE IN point.

If a CUE IN point has not been previously defined, Multicam acts as in SW to IN OFF
mode (even if SW to IN ON is shown) because the system has no reference to jump to.

Preference Mode (PREF)

The Preference mode allows users to show the preferential camera angle by default when
a clip is loaded. The Preference mode is available in the secondary menu from the main
LCD display, using the D soft key.

When this option is ON and a clip is recalled, the preferred camera will be displayed on the
main output, even if another camera angle was previously loaded on that output.

The preferred camera is the one, which was on the primary output channel when the clip
was created.

The second preferential camera (“secondary camera”) is the one that was loaded on the
next channel when the clip was created.

In the Clip screen, the first preferential camera is indicated by a star: 111B* and the
second preferential camera is indicated by 2 dashes: 111B=.

When the preference option is disabled, the PGM output stays on the camera currently
selected when the clip is called.
