Commands
Status
In this example, a Media Pool VR Video Record/Play unit is used to send control signals to the Saturn. This would allow
the Media Pool to (for instance) play a commercial spot and then, at the end of the spot, send a “switch away from me”
(Take) command to the Saturn system. The transition would still need to be set up by the operator but the Take would
be executed automatically.
