5.4.9 Gang Mode
Gang mode is able to support one or more combinations of groups of ganged PGM
channels on EVS server. Any ganged PGM group need to handle all commands frame
accurately and synchronously on all the PGM channels of the group.
How to Create a Group of Gang Channel
NanoAir is able to support one or more combination of gang playlist. With 4-channel EVS
server, only 2 combinations are available.
Note
Gang mode is available to 2 playlists or above, the playlist to set should have
the same duration, IN and OUT point, the different contents are OK.
If these playlists don ’t meet the gang mode requirement, a message pop up to
remind users, if you still insist and click Yes, the gang mode on these playlists
will be incorrect.
To create gang mode, proceed as follows:
1. Drag and drop the playlist into the different Playout Panes.
2. Click Gang which is at the upper right of each Playout Pane, Gang button
turns blue , and stays in state1 mode (the left small rectangle is highlighted
blue).when click the Gang button once more, gang mode stays in state2 mode (the
right small rectangle is highlighted blue) .
3. After setting gang mode successfully, when you play/stop/pause or deploy with any
other playing command, all the ganged playlists will act as the same synchronously.
Only the playlists with the same state mode can be ganged with each other, such as the
playlists with state1 mode (or state2 mode) can be ganged, but one playlist with state1
mode and the other with state2 mode can
’t be ganged with each other. As to the state
mode, because nanoAir is only deployed with 4 Players, gang mode needs 2 Players or
above, and thus at most 2 groups of gang mode are available (2 players for each).
How to Deactivate Gang Mode
To deactivate gang mode, click the gang button which has already been highlighted blue,
then gang mode is removed and the button turns grey. And thus all the actions apply to
them can
’t affect with each other any more.
