Section 8 — Additional OUI Operations
Using Salvos for Frame-Accurate Takes
For frame-accurate Takes, you can send a Salvo with a timestamp to the
Router Controller. This can be made even more deterministic by supplying
the Encore SCB running the Router Control application and the routing
clients with a VITC time-code reference. A routing client can send a Salvo
of Takes to a Router Controller up to 512 frames before the Takes should
occur. Advanced scheduling capabilities require an automation system.
Requirements
• Matrices attached serially to the Router Controller must support at
least 38,400 baud connections for any degree of determinacy; 115K
baud is recommended.
• For the highest degree of determinacy, the SCB running the Router
Control application must be connected to a stable VITC feed.
Encore SCBs support PAL, NTSC, and NTSC drop-frame formats.
• All Router Controller and Tie-Line Manager logging options must
be disabled for optimal deterministic performance.
CAUTION Logging to disk can seriously degrade deterministic performance and can fill
up a hard disk quickly.
To Disable Router Logging...
a. Open the Router Control application in the Encore OUI.
b. Click the Config button on the Main Menu.
c. Click the Logging button.
d. In the Logging Options dialog which appears, toggle the
logging options off and close the dialog.
To disable Tie-Line Manager logging...
a. Open the Tie-Line Manager application in the Encore OUI.
b. Click the System button on the Main Menu.
c. Click the Full Logging button.
d. In the Logging Options dialog which appears, toggle the
logging options off and close the dialog.
Limitations
These limitations are dependent on third-party matrices attached to the
Router Controller. Limitations will vary by manufacturer, model, and
