Chapter 9 Using the List Manager
228 Profile Family
The Resource Manager lets you acquire system resources and configure
operational settings for up to four Profile channels. Channel resources are used
by the List Manager, the Tool Box Editor, and VdrPanel.
Channel resources include:
• Video inputs and outputs
• Video codecs
• Audio channels
• Timecode sources (inputs and outputs)
• Timecode codecs
Operational settings include:
• Video quality (compression)
• Drop-frame and nondrop-frame timecode
• Field dominance
• Still-play mode
• Timecode generator settings
Whenever you make a change in this dialog box, you can click Apply . The
changes are applied without leaving the dialog box.
To preserve a configuration as the default, use the Save Default button to save
your current channel configuration as the default. Different defaults can be
saved for each Profile machine in your network.
Acquiring Profile Channels
First, you must acquire one or more Profile channels. The single channel tab
labeled first channel is the default. You can change the name of the channel by
entering a new name in the Name text box. Channel names can have up to 32
characters, but a shorter name is recommended for readability.
Depending on your system, you can configure up to four channels; however,
some systems only have two channels (codecs). To add a channel, click the
Add
Channel button. To remove a channel, click the Remove Channel button. One
channel is always visible.
If no resources are selected for a channel, the channel tab icon is dimmed. If
there is a conflict over resources, a red X appears in the channel tab. A resource
is in conflict if it is in use by another channel or application.
