Clip Directory (AMP Protocol)

On the Devices Control menu, touching a

Preset Clip

or

Program Clip

data pad

brings up a menu from which you can select the desired folder and then
choose a clip in that folder to load for playback (

Figure 76

). A similar menu

is used with the Clip Browser on the Devices Event List menu, and for
loading clips in the Timeline Events menu.

If you change a clip locally on the Summit/Solo server, that clip name will
be updated on the Karrera Devices menus. If the folder list or clip list are
incomplete, re-enabling the device will fetch the entire folder and clip list.

Note

Do not create file or folder names that have the pound character ( # ) along
with either the dash ( - ) or underscore ( _ ) character, and avoid blank spaces
(for example, use “DeadEnd” not “Dead End”. This can inhibit clip access.

Note

A maximum of 20 folders is recommended along with a maximum of 20 clips
per folder.
