On-Air Display
This functionality is used to show that the loaded channel or the Software Player
is on air and to inform other users that they should not perform any action on the
on-air channel.
Activation and Deactivation
Right-click the Channel field and select On Air from the menu to activate the on-
air status. The background of the field will then flash alternately red.
To deactivate the on-air function, right-click the Channel field and uncheck On Air
from the menu.
GPI Associated to the On-Air Status
An INPUT GPI for the Tally (on-air function) can be defined in the setup of the
EVS video server and associated to IPDirector. The user can then assign the
‘Tally’ function via the main menu Tools > Settings > Input GPI category. In this
case, the on-air status will flash red when the EVS server receives the
corresponding GPI pulse. The IPDirector users will no longer be able to control
the on-air function.
Refer to section ‘Settings’ in part 1 of the manual for more information on how to
define Input GPI.
Secondary Control mode
Exclusive control of any channel by a third party protocol (switcher, editor
controller or 3
rd
party device) can be achieved using the 2
nd
Controller feature of a
Control Panel. This feature allows switching the control between IPDirector and
the other device, when the port and protocol settings have been assigned to work
in Exclusive mode.
You can toggle the control between the Control Panel and the secondary control
device via the 2
nd
Controller option in the contextual menu available on the player
