3.6.4 How to Perform a Play-out in Slave Mode

In the playout mode you can control the VENICE server by remote and

send a play command via RS-422. After receiving the command the

server will play out the currently selected content according to the set-

tings specified with the operation mode configurations.

To prepare the VENICE server for a slave mode play-out perform the

following:

y Select the video and audio content that should be played out with

the Source items as described in section “Selecting Content for

Play-out” on page 3-2.

y If necessary, specify the essences for the play-out with the Output

select items (see section “Selecting Essences for Play-out” on

page 3-6).

y If necessary, configure the output format to your requirements with

the Output settings items (see section “Configuring the Output

Settings” on page 3-7).

y Then activate the button SLAVE (see section “Slave Mode” on

page 2-9).

The slave mode control window appears on the screen.

y If necessary, specify further details about the play-out there, such as

an in- or outpoint. For further details about this window see section

“Slave Mode” on page 2-9.

After this the VENICE server waits for a play-out command via RS-422

to begin the play-out.

To stop the slave mode play-out perform the following:

y Either send the respective command via RS-422 or terminate the

slave mode by clicking on the CLOSE button of the slave mode

control window.

The VENICE server then stops the slave mode play-out of the selected

content.

Via project files or presets the software can be preconfigured

for certain tasks. Then it may not be necessary to perform all

the configurations described below (see section “Preconfigur-

ing the VENICE Client Software” on page 2-13).
