External VTR Delegation
The Kayenne XL Package supports control of up to 4 external VTRs (e.g.
disk server, betacams etc.) via a serial connection (RS422) and in addition
the control of up to 32 external VTRs over LAN (AMP protocol using
TCP/IP). All of these external VTRs can be fully controlled by the Machine
Control Module.
Before an external VTR becomes available in the device assignment section
of the module, it has to be selected in the installation menu of the Kayenne
XL Menu. For serial controlled VTRs, a port and a protocol has to be
selected. For VTRs which are controlled via LAN, the IP address and the
video channel of the external machine has to be selected. In addition a pro-
tocol has to be chosen (currently only the AMP protocol is available).
Within the Machine Control Module the short identification name for serial
controlled VTRs is "MS[1-4]". The long identifier is the name of the control-
ling protocol (e.g. "amp_v694", "vdcp_v670"). The short name for VTRs
which are controlled via LAN is "ML[1-32]". The long identification name
is "M-LAN[1-32]".
