USING E-E Mode to Monitor the Recording Source
The E-E button appears in the Channel 1 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, E-E monitoring is switched
OFF.
When Channel 1 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 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.
