2.1 Video Channels and Multi-Device
The ProntoXway is a disk recording system manufactured by DVS of-
fering two totally independent video channels in a single system, and
thus the functionality of two disk recorders in one box. Each video
channel can be controlled independently from the other with its own
user interface. They are also independent from the DVS software mod-
ule or operation mode (record/play-out) used, and can access either the
same or different material (shared storage).
The following table shows the amount of video channels that are avail-
able when using certain video formats. It assumes the usage of one au-
dio clip (multiple channel file) per video channel. Please note that some
video formats are available as optional features only.
For stereoscopic applications the video channels of the ProntoXway can
be synchronized. Then they can be controlled from the user interface of
one channel. For this you have to use the multi-device operation mode
which can be set up via the Configuration Tool of the DVS software.
Additionally, the two channels have to be interconnected as if they
were two separate systems (remote control: Out to In).
The software configurations and the hardware setup for the multi-de-
vice operation mode are described in the “Configurations” user guide
delivered with the ProntoXway.

not required.
