3. Channel Explorer
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Channel Explorer gives a comprehensive overview of all XT
servers with their respective channel configurations (number of
inputs and outputs). It also shows any XFile and XStore devices
on the XNet SDTI network, and VTRs being controlled by an IP
Director workstation.
.
From within the Channel Explorer application any IP Director
workstation can take control of one or several channels from
different XT servers connected on the XNet. When control has
been taken the selected channels can then be locked.
The flexibility of IP Director allows multiple channels to be
ganged together, either for simple ganged playback of several
different sources, or specialised playback modes such as Key
and Fill and a Program/Preview mode to play clips sequentially
with a transition either manually or from a play-list.
These multiple playback modes can be used both on clips or
play-lists to offer a comprehensive range of operational playback
modes using a conventional computer interface with Keyboard,
mouse, and VGA which is familiar to any computer user.
