Secondary Control mode
Exclusive control of any channel by a third party protocol (switcher, editor
controller or 3
r d party device) can be achieved using the 2 n d Controller feature of a
Playlist Panel. This feature allows switching the control between IPDirector and
the other device, when the port and protocol settings have been assigned to work
in Exclusive mode.
The 2

the IPDP protocol as the main controller in exclusive mode.
When the configuration has been set to parallel mode the control of the channel is
from either IPDirector or the 3
r d Party device simultaneously and the second
control feature is inactive.
