II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The DMAT-EZ was created to allow simultaneous record and playback of
segments and list playout. All functions are performed from a single screen
except for some basic configuration items which have their own screen. The
session is started by a simple two-key press. The IN and OUT point of each
CUE can be marked and saved to CUEs and then be recalled for playback.
The IN and OUT points are editable to refine the CUE for optimal effect. CUEs
can be added to a list to form a playlist which can be used as a highlight reel
for later playout. There are more functions that will be described in the rest
of the manual. The DMAT-EZ is available as a 2 channel record and 2 channel
playback model (DMAT-x-22) and a 4 channel record and 4 channel playback
model (DMAT-x-44). Each model can be ordered with either ODETICS or
Grass Valley AMP control protocol.
III. INSTALLATION
The installation consists of connecting the control ports of the video server
channels to the RS422 connectors on the back of the DMAT-EZ and
connecting the power to all involved devices. The lower row of connectors is
for the PLAY channels, and the connector above each lower row connector is
for the corresponding RECORD channels.
A. Grouping
Grouping assigns channels that share media.

1. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, are on the same server.
