In the Multicam application, the keyword file can be selected either from the VGA
Setup screen, or from the Setup menu of the EVS Remote Panel (p.3.2 F1).
The operator can select any file from all the .KWD files present in the
M u l t i c a m \ D I R E C T O R Y
. If the machine is connected to other systems on the
EVS SDTI network, the network server will automatically distributes 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 Keywords 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 keywords file. Even if the original network server reconnects, he 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.

The keyword file can also be edited directly in the Multicam application using the
Off-Air Keyword screen (F7). This screen is also used to assign keywords to a
clip, but the keyword assignment functions will be described further in this
chapter.
