Chroma Seat Plan The Chroma Seat Plan control allows you to select a
target by clicking on its graphical representation (as an
alternative to keying in the target number using the
Keypad control).
Seat plans can be produced using any graphics bit-map
program, but they must be saved as 24-bit .BMP files so
that the seat number can be encoded in the colour of the
seat. (See ‘Appendix: Encoding seat number by colour’.)
The graphic does not have to be a representation of an
auditorium – it could, for example, be a map showing
constituencies, with targets selected by the location of
their constituencies.
Target Summary The Target Summary control is your main broadcast
control.
Each row corresponds to a ‘Control Bus’ in conventional
broadcasting terms. This is where the ‘On Air’ shot and
the cameras and shots that are queued for the next
targets are displayed. You can select and trim shots
before switching them to air.
The Target Summary displays selected target information
and provides a quick and easy way of choosing which
target to take to air or to cue for the next broadcast.
The padlock icons allow cameras to be locked against
particular shots. Locking a camera here also locks it on
the camera control.
The seat or target number is displayed between the
Release button and the On Air/Take indicators.
Cameras The Cameras control lets you select any of the cameras
configured for the system. When a camera is being
manoeuvred to set up a shot, two blue lamps flash below
the selected camera. Depending on a camera’s tally
status, single coloured lamps illuminate below, with Red =
On Air, and Green = Next On Air (Cued).
The padlock icon under each camera indicates the state
of the manual lock. Selecting the icon when it is unlocked,
locks the camera to its current shot and changes the icon
to a yellow locked padlock. Selecting the padlock icon
again releases the camera for use elsewhere.
