Video Server Control
The switcher interface allows you to cue and play clips
on a video server.
Keep the following in mind when controlling a video
server:
• The Cue command asks for the currently cued clip
on the video server channel and re-cues it.
• When Cue is recorded into a custom control, only
the cue command for the clip id is recorded. This
allows you to create a number of custom controls
to cue different clips on the video server.
• The Cue command from a custom control will
eject the contents of the channel before cueing the
clip. If the contents of the channel is a playlist, the
playlist will be ejected.
To Control a Video Server
The video server controls are intended to be used for
creating custom controls. For example, manually load a
clip on the video server and then create a custom control
on the switcher with Cue followed by Play. This custom
control will cue the clip that was cued on the video server
when it was recorded and play it.
