Introduction

Product Overview
The Player Control Panel, referred to as Control Panel in this user manual, is the graphical
user interface used to preview and manipulate:
•
clips, record trains, playlists and timelines stored on an EVS video server when the
Control Panel is associated to a player channel,
•
files stored on a nearline folder of the GigE network when the Control Panel is
associated to the OCX Software Player (if the workstation has a valid license for it).
It provides transport functions to play the media and clip creation functions to clip media or
trim existing clips.
Clips, playlists or timelines can be played out with transition effects between elements.
To do so, special channel modes must be enabled. Depending on several parameters on
the EVS video server, a single player channel could be used or two player channels must
be dedicated to the playout of the loaded item.
It also allows to:
•
build and play clip-lists (simple playlists),
•
play back media in loop or bounce-modes,
•
synchronize playback on ganged channels.
In addition to the buttons on the user interface, keyboard shortcuts and dedicated buttons
on the optional ShuttlePRO controller or the BEPlay remote can also be used in the
Control Panel.
The sections from "Overview of the Control Panel" on page 2 to "Clip-List Tab" on page 31
provide a detailed description of the various panes or windows in the Control Panel.
The sections from "Managing Player Channels" on page 38 to "Exporting and Importing
Playlists" on page 83 include procedures on how to perform the main tasks in the Control
Panel.
