General

General parameters concerning the selected system are accessible in this area. The user can select the system’s preset conflict mode, the native rate, and genlock mode.

Description

• Preset Conflict: Mode—When using single layers conflicts can arise when a Preset Recall modifies a source layer that is currently on Program. You may choose from three Preset Conflict Modes to resolve these conflicts.

  • Auto—The system performs the necessary actions to gracefully recall the Preset to Program.
  • Force Recall—The system recalls the Preset directly to Program. Program is not protected.

  • User Confirm—The system presents the user with a pop-up asking what to do when a conflict is detected.

    User Confirm options:

    • Resolve – All Trans or Cut: Perform the necessary actions to resolve the conflict and perform an All Trans or Cut to bring the Preset to Program.
    • Resolve – Wait: Perform the necessary actions to resolve the conflict and wait for the user to press the All Trans or Cut manually.
    • Cancel: Cancels the entire Preset recall operation.
  • Off—The system alerts the user with an error message about any Preset recall conflict, but it does not present a pop-up menu for resolving the issue.
• Preset Conflict: Time(frame) is the amount of time the system uses when automatically performing an All Trans.

• System Native Rate (Hz): System native rate in Hz (Cycles in second). Available selections:

  50

  59.94

  60

  The native system rate needs to match the general frame rate in the event where the unit is used.

• System Backup: IP address of the backup system.

  Enter the IP address of the backup unit, and press the "Sync" button to push the settings from the active system to the backup system.

• Genlock: Selects the system genlock mode from the options Freerun, Lock to External, or Lock to Unit ID.
• Genlock Status: Reports the system’s genlock mode status: Locked or not Locked.
• H Offset: The H sync can be offset to match a Genlock situation. Adjustment in ms.
• V Offset: The V sync can be offset to match a Genlock situation. Adjustment in ms.
• Master VP: Reports the units IP address in the local network.
• Unit ID: Reports the units ID number. ID required to identify different units are acting as a single or linked system in order to expand for Inputs, Outputs or Layers.
