From Which Feed?
The operator selects the feed from the drop-down box of available feeds. The
drop-down box displays all trains available on the XNet network. If the
corresponding recorder has a defined name, this name is displayed in the list
otherwise its EVS technical name is displayed (i.e.: 29_XT1_REC1).
IN Zone
In this zone the IN point of the inserted train can be defined. This can be by
calculation based on:
• a delay value entered
• a timecode value entered
Delay
This defines the delay which is applied to the selected element when the element
is on air within the play-list. If the delay value exceeds the train remaining
capacity, a warning message will be displayed. The value entered by the operator
is still accepted, as the capacity could be made available before the element is on
air, by removing some clips stored on the selected server.
Note
The T/C In of the play-list element can only be calculated if the on-air
time of the selected element is known.
T/C IN
When the window opens, the T/C IN field is filled with the on-air T/C of the
preview panel (if it has a value) or with the T/C of the channel associated to the
on-air panel if there is no value in the preview pane. If there is no value in either
of the previous cases then a ‘00:00:00:00’ will be displayed.
To define a T/C, click in the T/C IN field and type in a value.
To grab a value use the transport controls on the preview or on-air channel to
move to a different value and then grab the required value in the T/C IN field by
clicking the Grab button.
