Activating the Edit While Playout Mode Prerequisite As the Edit While Playout mode requires 4 player channels, or 3 player channels with one of them supporting the ‘Mix on one channel’.you need to ensure you are running a compatible Multicam application on the EVS server with which you are working. When you use the Master/Slave redundancy, IPEdit will thus require the same configuration on each server.

It makes it possible to synchronize the content of a timeline being edited on the Master (main) EVS server running IPEdit to a Slave (backup) EVS server also running IPEdit. This redundancy allows providing a failover mechanism when using the Edit While Playout mode in IPEdit.

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. - November 2012 1.7. Issue 6.00.A Managing GPI in TLO Introduction On some occasions, users may want to apply a GPI when the TLO nowline is on a specific timecode. As the TLO nowline and the TLE nowline are separated in time, users must be able to define GPIs linked to the TLO or to the TLE. For example, the use of an external device on the on-air channel needs to be triggered by a TLO GPI.
