VTR Remote Control
The VTR Remote Control Option enables control of VTRs, disk recorders, or other devices that use
the near-universal Sony BVW-75 Betacam protocol directly from the switcher panel. The option
consists of software plus security codes.
The Global Memory System area of the control panel includes the
VTR CLIP
button which allows
you to recall VTR clips (segments) from selected VTRs that are connected to Synergy. In addition,
VTR remote control can be tied into the
Custom Control buttons. Any Custom Control button can be
attached to functions such as play, stop, rewind, fast forward, frame advance, auto edit and standby
off.
Still Store (Chyron Aprisa™) Interface
This option enables serial ports for control over the Chyron Aprisa Still & Clipstore. It allows a user to
randomly access any still or clip under control from Synergy Q/MD. Custom Control macros can also
be created for quick and direct access to clips and switcher scene recalls.
Small Audio Mixer Interface (16 and fewer Inputs)
This option enables serial control for enhanced audio-follow-video from Synergy Q/MD over small
audio mixers. It allows for easy audio over, audio voice-over control, attachment of several audio
sources to one video source, and quick level control of master and individual audio levels.
You can purchase the small but powerful Yamaha 01V96 audio mixer console through any Ross Video
distributor. This mixer has up to 16 analog inputs, 16 digital inputs, and a proven interface to our
production switchers.
Large Audio Mixer Interface (more than 16 Inputs)
This option enables serial control for enhanced audio-follow-video from Synergy Q/MD over large
audio mixers, making an integrated A/V production possible. It allows for easy audio over, audio
voice-over control, easy attachment of several audio sources to one video source, and quick level
control of master and individual audio levels.
Robotic Camera System Interface
This option enables serial control over robotic camera systems including pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and
scene recalls.
Routing Switcher Interface
This option adds routing switcher interface capability to your Synergy Q/MD switcher.
Any number of the 32 inputs on the Synergy Q/MD can be assigned as a router input. When you select
a source fed by a router on the program or preset bus, the router control menu automatically appears.
The router menu shows Synergy assigne name for the source (e.g., ROUTER1) and the router
assigned name for the source (e.g., VTR12). The router menu also displays every source available on
that router by name and by router input number. The menu knobs allow for fast access to every
available source. A single button push automatically assigns the chosen source to Synergy.
With the Mnemonics option installed, Synergy replaces the pre-programmed Synergy name
(ROUTER 1) with the router name for the source (VTR 12) on the mnemonic display. This provides
easy identification of all inputs coming from your router.
