Controlling the Player from a Secondary
Controller
Purpose
Any player channel of an EVS video server can be controlled by IPDirector or by another
controller. Two different control modes are available. This is set from the Multicam
Configuration window.
With the Exclusive mode, the main controller and the secondary controller cannot control
the channel at the same time. The control is given or gotten back from the main controller
interface. From IPDirector, the 2
nd
Controller option allows switching the control
between IPDirector and the other device.
With the Parallel mode, both controllers can control the channel at the same time.
Prerequisites
The secondary device, the communication protocol it used, the COM port it is physically
connected to and the control mode must be set from the Multicam Configuration window.
See the IPDirector Technical Reference manual for more information.
The 2
nd
Controller option within IPDirector is only available if the channel has been
configured with the IPDP protocol as the main controller in Exclusive mode.
