Figure 31 - Serial Port Configuration Screen
Other Automation Options
As illustrated in Figure 31, a number of check boxes are provided that control how the Image
Server will respond to certain VDCP commands. Once set, these options remain selected when
the server is turned off, and until changed by the user.
NOTE: The following options will apply to all three video channels. They cannot be individually
configured for each video channel.
Cue Shows 1st Frame
Upon receiving a Cue With Data or a Play Cue command, the server will cue the clip then jog to
and display the first frame of video. (This also applies to Odetics protocol.)
Cue with Offset (vs. Timestamp)
When checked, the time code for the clip becomes “zero-based” with reference to the head point.
To move to the head point of the clip, the automation controller would send a time code value of
00:00:00:00, regardless of the clip’s original time stamp. When unchecked, the Image Server will
calculate time code position based upon the time stamp from the first frame of the unedited clip.
Note that this only affects the operation of the serial port, it does not change the way the Image
Server displays time code in the GUI.
Vari-Play 1X Equals Play
The Image Server will interpret a Vari-play 1x command as a Play command. (This also applies to
Odetics protocol.)
