• Aux panel assignments are performed using the control panel and menu system.
Editor Interface
The Editor Interface Option allows a Synergy switcher to interface with all popular editing systems.
The option itself is comprised of software plus security codes.
Any MLE or combination of MLEs can be controlled using an RS232 or RS-422 interface and
industry standard editor protocol. The editor can be used to read and write switcher functions
including video input selection, push button enable and disable, control settings and memory registers.
If GPI control is not sufficient and control of all switcher parameters from an editor is necessary, this
option is required. Refer to the section “
General Purpose Interface ” on page 1–13 for additional
details.
VTR Remote Control
The VTR Remote Control Option controls VTRs, disk recorders or other devices that use the
(near-universal) Sony Betacam protocol — directly from the switcher panel. 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:
• 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
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 bus crosspoint.
• The Global Memory System area includes the
VTR CLIP
button that allows you to
recall VTR clips (segments) from selected VTRs that are connected to Synergy. A clip
consists of two pieces of information: a physical VTR and a timecode or media ID.
Using the VTR Clips Menu , you can select a device (VTR) and store a timecode in one
of 100 registers. You can then press
VTR CLIP
, enter a clip register and cue the VTR
(that is associated with the clip). You can then use the
ROLL VTR
button or your
Custom Control buttons to roll the VTR.
• 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.
Note New versions of the Dedicated and Assignable Remote Aux Panels
now provide 8 GPI input ports per panel. These GPIs are available in
addition to those already provided on the frame. This feature allows
the manual override of the Aux panel selection via a GPI trigger. For
the purpose of camera matching, the Aux Bus can be manually
switched to a camera directly from the Camera Control Unit. Refer to
the section “
Remote Aux Panels ” for details.
