5.5.2 Primary Channel
The primary channel is the first controlled channel. It is identified by stars around its name
on the OSD of the output monitor and on the LCD display of the Remote Panel (ex:
*PGM1*).
Examples:
•
In 3PGM mode, if the operator controls PGM2 and PGM3, the primary channel is
PGM2.
•
In PGM+PRV mode with PRV CTRL OFF, the primary channel is PGM.
•
In PGM+PRV mode with PRV CTRL ON, the primary channel is PRV.
5.6 Preference Mode (PREF)
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.
5.7 Secondary Controller
5.7.1 Introduction
The
2
nd
CTRL function available on the Remote Panel in the main operational menu
allows the operator to swap the control of one or several play channels between the EVS
Remote Panel and a third-party controller.
Both controllers receive permanently the status of the channel(s), but only one controller
at a time is able to actually control a channel: this is called the exclusive secondary
control mode. The secondary controllers are defined in the
Operational Setup menu of
the remote (p.2.2).
