PGM/PRV Mode
The PGM/PRV mode provides the 2 output channels that are necessary for playing
transitions between playlist elements, when using channels which do not support the "Mix
on one channel" functionality.
The preview channel can be used with a Control Panel to preview clips or trains, or playlist
elements in order to trim them on a different channel than the one that the playlist is being
played to air from.
The PGM/PRV option is only available if the player channel is a odd numbered channel of
the EVS server, for example the PGM must be channel 1 and the associated PRV must
be channel 2, channel 3 can be PGM with associated PRV channel 4, and finally channel
5 can be a PGM with channel 6 as the associated PRV.
The PGM/PRV mode can be enabled in two ways.
• From the Channel Explorer: refer to chapter "Channel Explorer".
• From the Playlist Panel: right-click the Player field and select Mode > PGM/PRV.
