Using E-E Mode to Monitor the Recording Source

The E-E button appears in the Channel 1 and Channel 3 Record/Play window. It allows the input
signal to be monitored from the server output. E-E Mode toggles automatically as described below,
but can also be switched manually at any time.

When a new clip is created for recording, the input source is automatically switched ON to the
output—an E-E connection. When a clip is opened for play on Channel 1 or 3, E-E monitoring is
switched OFF.

When Channel 1 or 3 is switched to playlist mode, the E-E monitor is switched OFF. E-E mode
cannot be toggled while the channel is in playlist mode.

When E-E is ON, the input video signal is routed to the outputs. Manually toggle the E-E mode
button OFF to switch the output to the servers output, for conventional playback operation.

Under automation control, Auto E-E behavior is slightly different than under GUI control. The
server will remain in E-E ON mode until a transport control command (Play, Stop, Jog, etc) is
received. After receiving such a command, the server will remain in E-E OFF mode until record
mode is entered. In record mode, E-E mode is ON. As with GUI operation, automation controllers
may send E-E ON and E-E OFF commands to override the automatic operation.

Note that when in E-E mode the channel 1 or 3 video outputs are not timed to the genlock signal.
This will not be noticeable when connected directly to a monitor, however there will be timing
offsets when feeding timed routers or switchers. The symptoms of this will vary depending on the
particular equipment, including horizontal picture shift or timing error indications. . If the input is
not synchronous with genlock, it may roll vertically. E-E mode is not intended to be used on-air,
only as a production tool.
