About VDCP protocol support
AMP Player supports the use of a two-head model in that two clips are loaded
simultaneously, as follows:
• Current clip — The AMP “preset id” is considered the current clip that controls
channel resources.
• Preview clip — The AMP “preview preset id” is considered the preview clip.
Generally the preview clip begins playing after the current clip completes, at which
point the preview clip becomes the current clip.
About VDCP protocol support
You can use the Video Disk Control Protocol (VDCP) to control iVDR record and
play channels on the iVDR. This protocol is supported through the VDCP Player
application running on an iVDR play channel, and VDCP Recorder application
running on an iVDR record channel. External control devices can be connected via
rear panel RS-422 serial port connectors.
See “Starting a remote control protocol
application” on page 281 .
