5. Control Mode
Multicam can be set in three different basic modes, depending on commands used.
5.1 LIVE (E2E) MODE
This mode selected at start-up can also be selected by pushing the RECORD key.
Multicam records the input signal and plays it at the same time on the program
output.
5.2 SEARCH MODE
This mode is selected by moving the jog dial.
In this mode, the operator has the opportunity to search for an image, in order to
define cue points or clips. Moving the command knob clockwise will force Multicam
to search forward, moving the command knob counter clockwise will force it to
search backwards. The most important thing to note is that Multicam never stops
recording while searching.
5.3 PLAYBACK MODE
Pressing the PLAY key selects this last mode.
Multicam plays the incoming signal delayed, a clip or a playlist, in slow motion,
and of course, continues to record the incoming signal on disks.
5.4 SYNCHRONISATION MODE (SWITCH TO
IN)
If the synchronization mode is OFF, a request for camera change will produce a
jump at the same timecode on the requested camera. This mode allows
synchronous change of camera angle.
If the synchronization mode is ON, a request for a camera change (by pressing
CAM A, CAM B CAM C or CAM D in the Multicam menu) will lead to a jump to a
predefined CUE IN point.
