Using the List Manager
The Profile List Manager lets you automate your use of the Profile video disk
recorder. You’ll probably want to use List Manager to schedule playback of
JPEG or MPEG clips or masters created in the Tool Box Editor on designated
outputs. List Manager also lets you record incoming video at predetermined
times or send incoming video directly to an output. You can also set up times to
switch a live connection, transfer media between Profile systems connected via
Fibre Channel, or even archive a clip on a library unit. You can combine these
functions to increase the automation level of your station operations. (See
Figure 128.)
NOTE: Profile PRO Series system software version 1.1 supports List
Manager version 1.2. This version supports MPEG.
List Manager Overview
The Profile List Manager works with events. Each event is a task or operation
that List Manager performs on a clip or a master or on incoming video.
List Manager uses a software “engine,” called the Event Scheduler Engine, to
schedule your lists. It runs behind the scenes and does all the actual work of
playing and recording clips at the appointed times. This low-level software
starts automatically when you start the List Manager, and continues to run for
the rest of that Windows NT session, even if List Manager isn’t running.
If you need to stop the Event Scheduler for any reason, click the minimized
Event Scheduler icon, then type exit on the command line and press Enter.
List Manager lets you schedule playback, record, switch, transfer, and archive
events. A playback event lets you play a clip or master at a designated time,
while a record event allows you to record material at a given time. A switch
event schedules a live connection; input and output are connected directly in E
to E mode at a predetermined time and remain in that mode until the next
playback event. A transfer event schedules the copying of media from one
Profile video disk recorder to another Profile unit on the network (requires
Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections). An archive event copies media to or
from a Profile library system, such as the PLS200 or PLS20.
