Glossary

Monitor Pane

Displays the current information for the channel. Displays a thumbnail of the clip

currently loaded in the channel and indicates the current application for the channel.

Contains a drop down menu for changing the channel’s application. For the currently

selected channel, the monitor pane is larger and has a white background.

Multi-Cam

A feature in which two of a channel's SDI inputs can be configured to record two

clips. This feature requires special licensing.

Non-Drop Frame Timecode

In non-drop frame timecode, all frames are numbered sequentially, but the ending

timecode of a program does not accurately give the program's length. Drop frame

timecode yields precise running times, but frames are not all numbered sequentially.

A frame number must be dropped periodically to keep the clock right.

Pane

A viewing area in a primary window that contains one or more controls. The

AppCenter interface is divided into three panes, which are used to display the channel

monitors, control applications, and manage clips. To activate a pane, click on it. Only

one pane is active at a time.

Program

A clip generated from a playlist. A program includes all the media in the playlist, but

does not include any event that breaks the flow of playout such as a pauses between

events.

transmission.

applications; it supports multipoint connections.
