10.1.2 Selecting the Current Keyword File
In the Multicam application, the
Keyword file can be selected either from the VGA Setup
screen, or from the
Operational Setup menu of the Remote Panel using the Keyword
file parameter (p.6.1 F1).
The operator can select any file from all the .KWD files present in the
Multicam\DIRECTORY. If the machine is connected to other systems on the EVS SDTI
network, the network server will automatically distribute its current
Keyword file to all
other users on the network.
For each system on the network, the operator can choose to work with the file coming
from the network server (set the
Keyword file parameter to “SERVER”), or with a local
file.
Note
In a normal situation, the network server is the machine that has been defined
as such in the EVS Configuration menu.
However, if for any reason the network has been interrupted or the machine
designated as the network server is not available, another machine on the
network (the Master machine with the highest serial number) will automatically
take over this job, including the distribution of the
Keyword file. Even if the
original network server reconnects, it will not necessarily become the actual
network server again.
The machine that actually assumes the role of network server can easily be
identified from the Connect window on the VGA or from the Network menu on
the EVS Remote Panel, thanks to the “
*” displayed next to its name. That
machine only has the ability to distribute its current
Keyword file to the others
on the SDTI network.
