JOG DIAL
The JOG DIAL allows the operator to pass into Search mode and thus to choose exactly the Short OUT or Short IN image. Move the jog dial clockwise to search forward and move it counter-clockwise to search backwards. One revolution of the jog dial will produce a jump of approximately 35 frames. This number can be multiplied by enabling the Fast mode. The multiplication factor is defined in the Setup menu. Note The jog dial is also used: to set parameters in the Setup menu. Refer to the Setup menu section for more information. to browse inside the clips database, the cue points or the current playlist. Refer to the explanation of the BROWSE function for more details. The jog dial is active at all times when the system is in Play & Record modes.
The LEVER is used to start a play or to modify slow motion speed. Its run can be of two different types regarding the lever mode.

Normal run

In this mode, the lever run goes from 0 up to 100%.

Second range

Different ranges are available to play material from 400% to 400% (see Setup menu - page 6.1 - F5 for selection). To gain access to this second speed range, press SHIFT + LEVER from the remote controller. Note When SD SUPER MOTION material is loaded on the primary channel, the lever range as a larger, flat step at 33%. With HD SUPER MOTION, the step is at 33% or 50% depending on the camera. The lever is also used to adjust speed, and effects type and duration in Playlist Edit mode.

R ESYNC TO TC R EF

The Multicam application uses an internal table to reference all time code discontinuities detected on the LTC input of the system. This table is used to match a recorded field to its time code. When the number of TC discontinuities is too important, a !TC warning appears on the OSD of the output monitors and the system switches to the internal time code mode. The operator can clear the TC discontinuities by calling the Resync to TC ref function. This function synchronizes the internal TC to the time code read on the LTC input of the server. From that moment on, the system will assume that the time code was continuous for previously recorded material, and will take into account the new time code discontinuities. Note that the above explanation is only valid for record trains. For clips, the time code of the first field of the clip is memorized at the creation of the clip, and the time code is always assumed continuous inside the clip. Clearing the internal TC table will consequently have no effect on the time code of recorded clips. To call the Resync to TC ref function, simply press the F6 key. The function is immediately performed and the message TC resynchronization done is displayed.

This page is used to define which device/controller can control which PGM channel. For each PGM channel, you must define the main controller, selecting from the list defined on page 7.1. In LSM mode, the main controller for PGM1 must always be an EVS remote. This can not be changed by the operator. If the main controller is an EVS Remote, the RS422 port will be automatically assigned and is not specified by the operator. If the main controller is an EVS remote, it is then possible to specify a secondary controller for that channel, that can be a protocol defined on page 7.1. The EVS remote controlling that channel can then decide at any time to pass the control to, or to retrieve the control from the secondary controller. Like for page 7.1, all EVS remotes must be the first in the list of Main controllers, without gap. It is not allowed to have a protocol preceding an EVS remote in this list. A protocol (other than EVS AVSP or EVS IPDP protocols) can only be assigned to 1 channel at a time. EVS AVSP and IPDP protocols can be assigned to several channel simultaneously. If you need to assign some channels to an AirBox, you must set the main controller for these channels to EVS AVSP. If you need to assign some channels to an IP Director, you must set the main controller for these channels to EVS IPDP.

The users can specify one of the following time code types in the USER setting: LTC and VITC time codes in SD LTC, HANC LTC and HANC VITC in HD
The user will have the possibility to work with one of the time code types defined for the recorder. Usually, an LTC time code is used to perform operations on live events. A VITC time code is used for video material ingested from tapes as it is the time code embedded in the video signal.

5.1.4.2

T IME C ODE T YPE U SED ON A R ECORDER
On the first page of the VGA Setup screen, the Primary TC field specifies which time code type will be displayed at the bottom the VGA and will be used to work with the video material stored on the given recorder.

P OSSIBLE V ALUES

The values can be the following: LTC USER LTC time code, which is automatically stored in the LTC table. It is specified in the LTC field. User-defined time code, which is stored in the USER TC table and specified in the USER field.
T IME C ODE C OLOUR ON THE VGA
Depending on the value selected for this setting, the time code displayed at the bottom of the VGA will have a different colour: If the LTC time code is selected, the time code colour will be white. If the USER time code is selected, the time code colour will be yellow.

5.1.4.3

H OW TO S ETUP THE P RIMARY TC AND U SER F IELDS
To set up the primary TC or USER field, proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. Press SHIFT-F2 to open the VGA Setup screen. Use the <TAB> key to position the cursor on the field to edit. Use the right and left arrows to go through the possible values for that field. The value defined when you leave the field will be saved.

VITC/ANC MANAGEMENT

The second page available in the Setup Configuration menu ( SHIFT-F2) on XT[2] servers allows the channel-by-channel management of VITC or ANC TC management. It also allows the users to clean or not the VBI information: the VITC being recorded in the active video lines, it can be disrupted in PlayVar because of interpolation or parity violation on some fields. Moreover, if the server inserts VITC on the output while there is already VITC on another line, it can create problems. The server allows now to totally clean the VBI information from the vertical blanking at playback or to clean it only when it would not have been preserved.

VITC/ANC M ANAGEMENT IN SD IN AND OUT
In SD, the page is as follows:
The following parameters can be defined:

IN LOOP

D-VITC Lines The TC and user bits are always written on the SD outputs of the record codec and are the same as on the source video. Lines on which the VITC must be written on the loop of the input. By default, these are lines 14-16 in NTSC and 19-21 in PAL.

SD OUT

D-VITC Field to specify if embedded time code has to be inserted in the output. The possible values are: No In (default) LTC USER Lines UserBits Clean VBI No new time code inserted in the output.

Pressing PLST from the Playlist Edit mode enter the Playlist diffusion mode. Pressing PLST from the Playlist Diffusion mode re-cues the playlist to its beginning. Pressing 3 times PLST will always cue up the playlist ready to roll.
To play back a playlist that has been cued, press the PLAY button and it will roll at the preset speeds.

BROWSE

When a clip is loaded on the primary channel, pressing the BROWSE key allows the operator to browse inside all local clips of the database by turning the jog dial. When a cue point exists for the current picture on the primary channel (the CUE button lights red), pressing the BROWSE key allows the operator to browse through all existing cue points by turning the jog dial.
When the current picture on the primary channel is neither a clip nor a cue point, or if the operator is in Playlist mode, pressing the BROWSE key allows him to browse inside the clips of the current playlist by turning the jog dial.

INSERT

This function inserts a clip before or after (depending on the Setup menu) the current position inside the playlist.
This function appends clip(s) at the end of the current playlist. This is also used to confirm saving of clips, and validate various options and messages.
This function allows the operator to gain access to the secondary menu. SHIFT+MENU on the Remote gains access to the Main menu. Also used as an ESCAPE key to cancel some options and messages.
This function clears the IN / OUT/ playlist / CLIPS / CUE points. Note To clear one CUE point, recall the desired cue point and press CLEAR + MARK key. To clear all cues: when current picture is not a CUE point, press CLEAR + MARK key. A message appears to confirm the command.
R EBOOTING THE S YSTEM FROM THE EVS R EMOTE PANEL

Hard Reboot

The Push function allows the operator to easily send a copy of a clip to another machine on the network: If a default Push machine is defined in the setup, the clip will be automatically sent to that machine. If no default PUSH machine is defined, the list of machines available on the network will appear. As soon as the operator selects one of them, the clip is pushed.
In both cases, a message appears for a few seconds on the LCD to confirm that the clip is being pushed and indicating the clip location where it will be stored on the receiving machine. If the Receive Page(s) defined on the destination machine is (are) full, the operator who tries pushing the clip is notified. While this message is being displayed, the operator can press the MENU key at any time to return to the normal menu. Depending on the CAM/CLIP mode selected by the D key, only the camera angles loaded on the controlled channels are pushed (CAM mode), or all camera angles of the clip are pushed at once (CLIP mode).

>A RCHIVE

The Archive function allows the operator to flag a clip to place it in the archive queue of the XFile 1 defined in the Setup menu (p.3.3 F1). This function is blinking when the clip is flagged for archiving, but has not yet been archived. It is permanently highlighted when the archiving of the clip is completed. Depending on the mode selected with the D key (CLIP/CAM), the >ARCHIVE flag is assigned only to the camera angles of the clip loaded on the controlled channels (CAM mode), or to all camera angles of the clip (CLIP mode).
The EVS Xfile is a 2U device with 2 removable hard drives, that can be connected to the XNet SDTI network. Clips can be archived to/restored from the removable medias.

When creating the clip, this time code will replace the original time code of the Short IN point. 6. Press ALT+S to save the clip(s). The operator still has the opportunity to rename the clip during this operation. He can then save the clip to the current cursor location by pressing ENTER, or to the first available clip location on the current server by pressing ALT+U.

12. Keyword Management

Each clip of the server can be assigned 3 keywords and a ranking. Values for ranking are: -, *, **, ***. The keywords are selected from a user defined keywords file that can contain up to 200 keywords of 12 characters. This information (keywords, ranking) can then be combined with other criteria (time code, dates) to search the servers database for matching clips. The keyword and ranking assignment, and the search functions, can be performed using the EVS Remote panel or the VGA screen and PC keyboard. This functions are only available if license codes 124 (database search functions) and 125 (keyword assignment functions) are installed on the server.
CREATING AND SELECTING THE KEYWORD FILE
The keyword file is a simple text file with a name of 8 characters and a.KWD extension. All keyword files must be located in the Multicam\KWD directory of the server. A sample keyword file (SAMPLE.KWD) is provided by EVS when installing Multicam 6.01.43. The content of a keyword file is similar to the following:
1 = action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= action_= = = = = player_A1 player_A2 player_A3 player_A4 player_A5

MULTICAM SOFTWARE

USING FLOPPY DISKS

Download the Multicam version zip file. Next extract the zip file to a temporary folder on your Windows PC Format each floppy disk if they have not been formatted Copy the contents of each folder (080433-1, 080433-2 080433-7) to a separate floppy Always install the 7 XT Multicam 08.04.33 Upgrade disks together. Insert Upgrade 1 into the XT drive and from the DOS prompt, type a:install, and follow the instructions. When asked whether you want to overwrite existing files, type a for All. Carefully watch the VGA screen for any error messages that could pass by.

1.2.2.

USING A USB KEY :
If you received the installation files by email, create a new folder on your USB key where all installation files will be copied. Ideally limit this folder name to 8 characters so that it will appear normally in DOS mode. For example M080433. Copy all installation files to the root of the new installation folder you have created on your USB key. Once complete, the content of the installation folder should be similar to this : \install.bat \080433-1 install.bat M080433.R05 upgrade.bat M080433P\ line*.txt line*.tdf avcfg*.bin

Please insert the USB memory stick now, insert the USB key in the USB port next to the floppy drive on the XT server and press ENTER to reboot the server The server will restart and recognize the USB device. The following message appears on the VGA display : ID 0 = HD. OTi #1 : PRI DOS Flash Disk 32MB drive = D:

In this example, D: is the letter drive assigned to the USB key. Type D: followed by [enter] Type install.bat When asked whether you want to overwrite existing files, type a for All. Watch carefully the VGA screen for any error message.
INSTALLATION ON MTPC A2/A3 OR A2/A4
MTPC Boards A2/A3 and A2/A4 allow booting from the USB key to perform standard operations. It is therefore easier to install the software booting from the USB key. See section 2.1 for a complete procedure. If you dont wish to work with a bootable key, you can still use the standard procedure (Upgrade from USB from the EVS menu). See section 2.2 for the complete procedure. Warning : The new MTPCs require a software change to be fully supported by the Multicam. Version 08.04 contains those changes. If you wish to use older versions and do not install them with the bootable USB key, you have to apply a patch. There is one patch zip file per MTPC type :
