Broadcast Mode
routing VTR1 to VTRs 2 through 10, and sending audio, video and control from the source (mas-
ter) to all destinations (slaves). In sum, the source controls all destinations.
In this mode, the master device issues commands to all slave devices, but only one slave device (the
first one assigned to the broadcast group) can communicate back to the master. All other slave
devices only receive commands; no status information is sent back to the master device.
Before performing a take, verify the following:
• None of the devices to be included have a lock or protect (see Locks on page 42 or Protect on
page 45).
• Ensure that the data router has been configured for “data forward” so that the source controls
the destination (see the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide).
There is no way to view the devices that compose a broadcast group. If another operator uses your
master or primary slave device for another “take,” the entire group collapses. It is recommended
that you lock or protect these devices (see
Locks on page 42 or Protect on page 45).
At any time while selecting a destination or source, you can press
Clear
to clear the last entry. Press
Clear
again to clear the entry prior to that, and so on until all the entries you want to clear have been
cleared. Or, press
Clear Pst
to clear the sources that display in the ‘Preset’ column (see Clear Preset
on page 38).
