EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 5 User's Manual - Manual (Page 52)

Limitations
The On Air option is available when the Control Panel is linked to a player channel and if
the user has the control right on this channel and if this channel is not locked.
1.3.5. Controlling the Player from a Secondary
Controller
Exclusive control of any channel by a third party protocol (switcher, editor controller or 3
rd
party device) can be achieved using the 2 nd Controller feature of a Control Panel. This
feature allows switching the control between IPDirector and the other device, when the
port and protocol settings have been assigned to work in Exclusive mode.
You can toggle the control between the Control Panel and the secondary control device
via the 2
nd Controller option in the contextual menu available from the Player field.
The 2 nd Controller option is only available if the channel has been configured with the
IPDP protocol as the main controller in exclusive mode.
When the configuration has been set to parallel mode, the control of the channel is from
either IPDirector or the 3
rd Party device simultaneously and the second control feature is
inactive.
Note
To configure which protocol and port each channel can be controlled by, see the
chapter "Connection to EVS Video Server" in the Technical Reference manual.
1.3.6. Channel Modes for Playout with Transition
Effects
Introduction
To be able to play the transition effects of a playlist or a timeline on a single player
channel, this channel must support the "Mix on one channel" functionality. This can easily
be checked as the information is displayed in the title bar of the Control Panel the channel
has been assigned to.
• Channel not supporting "Mix on one channel" and involved in no association
