Playlist Conditional Mode
Multicam - Version 11.01 – Operating Manual
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA – April 2012
This mode is only available in 2PGM and 3PGM modes. It allows the operator to load and
control several playlists simultaneously from the same Remote Panel, or to load a playlist
on one channel while performing other operations on the other channel(s). To use this
mode, the Load Playlist parameter of the Operational Setup menu must be set to
Conditional (p.3.3 F2).
To use this mode, select one channel (for example PGM1), and press the PLST key one,
two or three times to enter the PLST EDIT or the PLST DIFF mode (refer to the “Playlist
Management” Section of this manual for details about these modes). You can notice that
the TAKE key lights green. Pressing the TAKE key will allow the operator to return to the
PGM selection menu, and select another PGM channel where he can start a replay, load
a clip or another playlist, etc.
In this mode, if the operator selects a PGM channel where a playlist is loaded and
presses the TAKE key, he will enter again the PLST EDIT or PLST DIFF mode.
When playlists are loaded on all channels currently controlled by the operator in MULTI
PGM mode, the TAKE key lights red. If the TAKE key is pressed, the remote will enter a
specific PLST DIFF mode, where the operator can control several playlists
simultaneously, and browse them or roll them in sync. NEXT and SKIP functions are also
available and will apply on all controlled playlists. The TAKE button will not light red if one
of the controlled channels does not contain a playlist.
Practical example
The operator builds a playlist with Fills and another playlist with Keys. He sets the
Playlist Load parameter to Conditional in the setup menu, then enters the 2PGM mode,
selects the Fills playlist as current playlist, presses A to gain control on PGM1, presses
PLST two or three times to enter the PLST DIFF mode and cue up the Fills playlist to its
1st clip. Then he presses the TAKE key to return to the PGM selection menu, selects the
Keys playlist as current playlist, presses B to gain control on PGM2, presses PLST two or
three times to enter the PLST DIFF mode and cue up the Keys playlist to its 1st clip. Then
he presses the TAKE key to return to the PGM selection menu, presses D to gain control
on both PGM channels, then presses TAKE to enter the PLST DIFF menu. He will see
the content of both playlists side by side on the LCD screen, and can browse them or play
them in Sync at any speed, and perform SKIP and NEXT commands as needed.
