5.5 DEFINITION OF CONTROLLED AND
PRIMARY CHANNELS
Important
The notions of Primary Channel and Controlled Channel are very
important and will be constantly referred to in this manual.
5.5.1 C
ONTROLLED
C
HANNEL
A channel is “controlled” when the operator can control it with the jog dial. In this
case, the words “FULL CTRL” are present on the top of the OSD of the output
monitor of that channel.
5.5.2 P
RIMARY
C
HANNEL
The primary channel is the first controlled channel. It is identified by stars around
its name on the OSD of the output monitor and on the LCD display of the Remote
Panel (ex: *PGM1*).
Examples:
• In Pgm + Prv mode with PRV CTRL OFF, the primary channel is PGM.
• In Pgm + Prv mode with PRV CTRL ON, the primary channel is PRV.
5.6 PREFERENCE MODE (PREF)
When this option is ON and a clip is recalled, the preferred camera will be
displayed on the main output, even if another camera angle was previously loaded
on that output.
The preferred camera is the one, which was on the primary output channel when
the clip was created.
The second preferential camera (“secondary camera”) is the one that was loaded
on the next channel when the clip was created.
In the Clip screen, the first preferential camera is indicated by a star: 111B* and
the second preferential camera is indicated by 2 dashes: 111B=.
When the preference option is disabled, the PGM output stays on the camera
currently selected when the clip is called.
