IP Control Panel is designed to efficiently control XT server channels with VTR-
like functions to clip, trim and playback media. The Control Panel also has more
advanced features such as the ability to:
• build, edit and play clip lists
• use mix or wipe transitions between linked control panels set in a
Program/Preview mode
• playback in normal, loop, or bounce modes
• synchronize the playback of channels that are ganged together
• offer parallel control or exclusive control to be passed to third party devices
(controllers, editors, vision mixers…etc).
Within the Control Panel a clip list can be built using a conventional drag and drop
technique from the Database Explorer. Controls for the transition effect, transition
duration, next, and skip are readily accessible and re-ordering, insertion and
deletion of clips can be made even as the list is rolling to air
Using the Control Panel with a Secondary Control function gives traditional
devices such as linear editors the power of instant access to any material
available on the EVS XNet network. Any media, even while being recorded, can be
cued using the Control Panel and simultaneously controlled by 3rd party editors,
controllers and switchers using industry-standard RS-422 protocols (Sony BVW,
Odetics, VDCP, etc…).
