A: The SGI Media Server Control GUIs
• The middle Option pulldown menu lets you choose the following options:
PB The clip’s audio and video are output when a clip is playing;
nothing is output at other times (default).
PB/EE The clip’s audio and video are output when a clip is playing; the
input signal is output at other times.
Note: The EE (end-to-end) option emulates a video deck feature and works only
when you have an active input source.
PB/Im The clip’s audio and video are output when a clip is playing;
SMPTE 75% colors bars and 1 kHz tone are output at other times.
PB/B The clip’s audio and video are output when a clip is playing; a black
screen is output at other times.
EE The output always displays the input signal instead of the signal
from the SGI Media Server, even when a clip is playing. (When a clip
is playing, the output displays the input signal.)
Image The output always displays SMPTE 75% colors bars and plays a 1
kHz tone.
Black The output always displays a black screen.
Hold The output always displays the last image.
• The Local/Rem Option pulldown menu lets you put the unit in remote mode. The
following options are available through this menu:
Local Puts the unit in local mode and enables the VTR control buttons
(local).
Rem Puts the unit in remote mode and disables the VTR control buttons.
This mode prevents you from accidentally operating a Media
Control Panel while the unit is being controlled remotely, for
example, by an automation controller.
• The shuttle dial lets you control the speed of a clip that is playing. To use the shuttle
dial, begin playing the clip and then use the mouse to point to the black notch on
the dial. Press the left mouse button and keep it pressed while you turn the dial
clockwise to increase the speed or counterclockwise to decrease it.
Note: The straight up position of the dial is zero or pause.
