4.1.
Introduction
The meaning of loading media is explained hereafter.
A record train, or train, corresponds to the media being recorded live from a camera and
sent to an EVS video server through a recorder channel.
A recording ingest corresponds to the same media for which an IN point has been marked
at a specific timecode to start the creation of a clip.
The action of associating a type of media with a player channel or with the Software
Player is called "loading media".
To action of loading a playlist in the Control Panel implies that a player must have been
associated with the Control Panel to be able to play the playlist.
When the selected player is a player channel:
•
off-line playlists automatically become on-line on the EVS server of the controlled
player channel.
•
distant playlists are automatically copied to the EVS server of the controlled player
channel.
When the selected player is the Software Player, off-line playlists remain off-line.
To be able to play the playlist with its transition effects, it must be loaded on a player
channel supporting the "Mix on one channel" functionality or on the PGM channel of a
PGM/PRV channel association. See section "Channel Modes for Playout with Transition
Effects" on page 45 for more details.
