Installation and Connection
23 Legislative Control System
Select your target from the seat plan or enter it via the
keypad control or MJP, followed by the target type (target
microphone, delegate).
The LCS immediately searches its database of stored shots
and presents that information to the control bus on the
Target Summary control. It also displays the matrix relating
to your target in the Target Store control (if you have
chosen to have it active on your screen).
The target information you requested is displayed along a
horizontal row in the Target Summary control – this is your
target control bus.
The Target Summary control displays the targets that have
cameras currently assigned to them, their shot type, tally
and manual camera lock status.
Example showing a six camera system
In the example above:
Seat 1 has Camera 1 with a Close shot type and Camera 2
has a Wide shot type allocated to it. Seat 1 is currently
On- Air with video from Camera 1, as shown by the red
button. (Notice too, the red triangle displayed in the matrix
button of the Target Store and the red indicator showing
under Camera 1 on the Camera control).
Tally commands are made using third-party video switching
devices. The red On-Air button is an indicator only; it is not
active by touchscreen.
Pressing the Release button releases Camera 1 from Tally
and removes target information from the control bus, leaving
blank empty buttons ready to be filled with a new target.
Pressing Summary loads all of that target’s stored shot
information into the Target Store so you can make edits if
you need to.
Seat 25 has Camera 3 with a Medium shot type and
Camera 5 has a Close shot type allocated to it. The target is
cued for the next shot, as shown by the green Take button
and the yellow padlock. (Notice too, the yellow triangle
displayed in the Target Store and the yellow padlock under
Camera 2 in the Camera control). Again, the green button is
for indication only, it is not active from the touchscreen.
Pressing the Release button removes the target information
from the control bus, leaving blank empty buttons ready to
be filled with a new target’s information. The Summary
button is not available as Camera 2 has the manual Lock
set, as shown by the yellow triangle in the button and the
yellow padlock.
Neither Seat 19 nor Seat 15 have any cameras assigned to
them, probably because there were no cameras available to
provide an acceptable shot. Pressing Release removes
them from the control bus.
If all your cameras are allocated to targets but another target
is requested, you will have to release one of the cameras
from its current target for use on the new one.
When a target is On-Air you can only make minimal
adjustments (trims) to the shot. The MJP joystick, focus and
zoom controls are all given reduced sensitivity.
If you want to trim your shot prior to broadcasting, press the
Summary button in the control bus of your target in the
Target Summary control. This prompts the Target Store
control to show the matrix of shots saved for that particular
target.
In the Target Store, select the shot button from the matrix
and make and save your changes using the MJP as
described in the previous section.
The Target Summary control allows you to preview your
target shot. To preview in your monitor, press a button with
a shot type displayed.
Blank buttons have no shot information stored.
The padlock icon indicates the state of the manual lock. A
camera cannot be allocated to another shot while it is
locked. The ‘lock’ is a toggle: pressing the icon when it is
unlocked locks the camera to its current shot and changes
the icon to a locked padlock. Pressing it again releases the
camera for use elsewhere when needed.
