Digital Broadcast Production Console
this screen allows the network to be
configured.
The window on the left side of the
screen shows the devices available to
the console (loaded via the Conf I/O Box
screen). The window on the right side of
the screen shows the devices the user
selected for this session.
The ADD and REMOVE buttons are used
to add or remove devices to and from the
session. Configurations can be saved
and restored, to allow use on a job by job
basis. This allows multiple setups to be
configured offline, and stored for later use.
Save To File, Load Into Desk
Changes to the network configuration
will not take effect until “Save to File,
Load Into Desk” is selected. Then,
the changes become active and the
netwOrk COnfIguratIOn
configuration is saved to the hard disk. If
any subsequent changes are made, the
“Save to File, Load Into Desk” button will
flash to indicate that the configuration
on the screen does not match the active
configuration.
Opening and Saving Configurations
Open File allows a previously saved
configuration to be opened. When opened,
the configuration will be loaded onto the
screen, but will not take effect until “Save
to File, Load Into Desk” is selected.
The button flashes to indicate that the
configuration on the screen is different
to the active configuration. The console
checks that the configuration is compatible
with the system. If there are discrepancies,
an “Error Showing Active Config” message
will appear.
“Save to File” saves the configuration to
the hard disk without loading it onto the
console.
Open Active Config
“Open Active Config” retrieves the
settings that the system is currently
using and displays them on the screen,
replacing the current configuration being
viewed.
Saving Options
Network configurations are not saved
with the user memories, so it is important
to save the options to disk and flash
once the network is configured using
the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
If they are not saved, the next time the
desk boots up the console will revert to
its previous settings, which could mean
that a different network configuration
is loaded. This could cause problems
should the console have to be reset
during a live broadcast. It does however
allow changes to be tried out without
losing the original settings and these
original settings can be restored without
having to re-boot the system.
