EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 5 User's Manual - Manual (Page 53)

• Channel supporting "Mix on one channel":
If the "Mix on one channel" functionality is not supported or enabled, two player channels
must be used to be able to play the loaded item with transitions effects. These channels
must be set to PGM/PRV mode.
Limitations for the Mix on One Channel Functionality
A player channel will not support the "Mix on one channel" functionality in one of the
following cases:
• It is on a COHX board on the EVS video server
• It is a 1080p channel
• It is a 3D channel
• It is a 3G input
• It is on a V3X board on the EVS video server but the "Mix on One Channel" parameter
is set to No on the Server Configuration screen.
Playing a Series of Clips or a Playlist
1PGM Mode
When the Control Panel is assigned a player channel supporting the "Mix on one channel"
functionality, a playlist can be loaded on that channel and played out with its transition
effects.
When the 1PGM mode is selected and a playlist is loaded on a player channel which does
not support the "Mix on one channel" functionality, the playlist will be played in Cut mode
on only 1 output.
PGM/PRV Mode
The PGM/PRV mode provides the 2 output channels that are necessary for playing
transitions between elements, when using channels which do not support the "Mix on one
channel" functionality.
The PGM/PRV option is only available if the player channel is a odd numbered channel of
the EVS server, for example the PGM must be channel 1 and the associated PRV must
be channel 2, channel 3 can be PGM with associated PRV channel 4, and finally channel
5 can be a PGM with channel 6 as the associated PRV.
