Ganging Channels for Synchronized Playback
Two video channels can be ganged together for frame-accurate playback. This may be used
for key and fill material (either stills or clips), or multi-channel playout of presentations, such
as synchronized matte backdrops on News Broadcasts, or multi-screen projection.
The channels can be ganged in the following combinations:
Channel 1 can control Channel 2.
Only channel one can be set as the master channel.
To configure Channel Ganging Click
EDIT >CONFIGURE >TIMING
from the Main Menu. The
video timing adjustment screen of Figure 26 displayed.
To gang Channel 2 to channel 1, set
CHANNEL GANGING MASTER
to 1 and click the
GANG
checkbox on channel 2.
FTP File Transfers
The TSS MINI Server connects over Gigabit Ethernet using its own internal RFC-1359 compliant
FTP server. File transfers to and from the server are managed from an FTP client file transfer
program running on an external system on the network (such as a Windows® or Macintosh®
computer). This provides a rapid way to execute file transfers, allows managing many servers at
once, and does not tie up the server GUI which may already be in use.

Table 2 - Supported FTP Clients
FTP programs may also be used to move recorded or edited material between a server and
Network Attached Storage (NAS).
From a networking or system-integration viewpoint, the server appears as a normal FTP
server in any size network, with the exception that it may only receive video, graphic and
scheduling related files that are compatible with the server.
