3-2 Video Disk Configuration
The name is also used to identify the disk port used to execute secondary data events. If a
disk port’s name matches the ID of a secondary data event, the event is executed. Such
secondary data events include those that delete spots, transfer an archived spot, delete
protect spots, or undelete protect spots.
ID Match Name:
The ID match name identifies the disk port in secondary events, where the device name is
played in the ID field. The default name is the same name you selected as the device
name. Enter the name by using up to four characters. When an event is threaded, a fifth
character - the head number - is added to the name.

Options
Stop Disk Play/Record on Init : A stop command is issued to the disk whenever the Device
Server is started or the port is re-initialized. When disabled, the Device Server connects to
the video disk port if it can. If it cannot, the port must manually be re-initialized on the
Device Server (under System, Diagnostics). When disabled, it is the operator’s
responsibility to check the port status in the Device Status Window and the IDs in the
Device Storage Window and re-initialize if required. Default is enabled (checked).
Back to Back Play : When performing back to back play of short spots (for example, five
second spots), the preroll and postroll of the lists should be kept as short as possible. The
postroll time must be compatible with the VTR, switcher and effect minimum postroll
times. Also, the ADC Device Server allows a video disk that has started cueing to continue
cueing during preroll as long as cueing finishes before playout time. If disabled, the
second head status line never threads (staying offline). This option should typically be left
enabled. Default is enabled (checked).
Update Event Durations From Disk : The ADC Device Server reads from the video disk the
duration of every item in the disk. This duration is displayed at the Device Storage
window. The ADC Device Server shortens the duration of any event that is longer than
what is reported from the disk. This feature is not typically needed for normal on-air
operations since the Harris database has the exact durations. Default is disabled
(unchecked).
