Synergy Series Installation Guide (v18) Introduction • 1–23
With the option installed, the following functions are available:
• Using the VTR Clips menu, you can set up a list of server clips that you want to use on
air, name them, preview them, trim each clip’s head and tail and enable (or disable) each
clip for use. The menu also includes a timeline that lets you visually review the clip’s
parameters.
• Once your clips are set up, you can choose a clip register from the Global Memory
System Group , select the video server on Preset and perform preview and cue operation
with full transport control capability. On the display, in addition to the clip timeline, you
can select any of your preset clips for use — in any order desired.
• Every MLE’s transition area includes a
ROLL VTR
button which, when set to
Play
mode and pressed, issues a play command to the device selected on the PST bus. The
operator then manually transitions the source to air by moving the fader or by pressing
the
CUT, AUTO TRANS
, or the device’s crosspoint on the PGM bus.
When the
ROLL VTR
button is set to the
Arm
or
Armed Always
modes, the switcher
is armed to automatically transition the device to air after the preroll interval has
elapsed. The transition to air is initiated manually when the operator presses the
CUT
,
AUTO TRANS
, or the device’s crosspoint on the PGM bus.
• Just like VTR Remote Control, Video Server Control can be tied into the Custom
Control buttons.
Audio Server Control
The Audio Server Control Option controls up to eight audio servers (such as the Digicart by 360
Systems) directly from the Synergy control panel. Interfaced audio servers must use Digicart protocol.
The option consists of software plus integrated circuits that install on the Control Panel’s “
Panel
CPU ” board.
With the option installed, the following functions are available:
• Using the VTR Clips menu, you can set up a list of Digicart audio clips that you want to
use on air, name them, preview them and enable (or disable) each clip for use.
• Once your clips are set up, you can choose a Digicart clip register from the Global
Memory System Group .
• Just like VTR and Video Server remote control, Audio Server Control can be tied into
the
Custom Control buttons. This is the preferred way to utilize Audio Server clips,
with the ability to associate sound effects with transitions (such as DVE moves), and
store them on custom control buttons for single-button audio/video effects.
Monitor Wall Interface
This software option adds the ability to interface between Synergy and a multi-image display system,
providing advanced monitoring capabilities.
Using the Custom Control macro buttons, you can perform functions such as loading a preset layout,
changing the input channel on a particular monitor, or editing dynamic text.
DVE Send and Remote Control
The Synergy SD series is designed to integrate with most popular brands of DVEs seamlessly — as if
they were part of the switcher during on air production. The DVE Send and Remote Control Option
makes this possible.
