Phantom Camera Control Application - Help 85

4.1.5.1 Manager Control Panel Components

The Manager Control Panel is used to manage up to 63 Phantom cameras for use, and manage

previously saved cine files.

NOTE

The Manager Control Panel will display, in the camera list, all previously connected to cameras

regardless is they are connected to the controller unit or not. Cameras are retained until they

have been removed from the list by the end-user. Previously recorded cine files will also be

retained in the list until they are removed via the end-user, or they have been moved from their

original location.

The Manager Control Panel consists of the following components:

New Group Button

The New Group button instructs the software to add a sub-group, (folder), under the

highlighted group in the tree structure. The new group can contain multiple Phantom cameras,

(under the Camera Group), that can be accessed in the Live Control Panel to control multiple

Phantom cameras simultaneously, or it can contain multiple cine files, (under the Cine Group),

that can be accesses in the and Play Control Panels to review multiple cine files simultaneously.

NOTE

Phantom cameras and cine file cannot be associated with multiple groups. However, any

Phantom camera or cine file under the sub-group tree can be controlled or reviewed

respectively. For example, Files Sub-Group1 contains; cine1, cine2, and cine3, along with

another sub-group File Sub-Group2. Files Sub-Group2 contains cine4, cine5, and cine6, etc.

When Files Sub-Group2 is selected in the Play Control Panel; cine4, cine5, and cine6 can be

reviewed simultaneously, if Files Sub-Group1 is selected all six cine files can be reviewed

simultaneously.

Camera Visibility Button

The Camera Visibility button is used to Add or remove a camera in the list of Visible

cameras. The Camera Visibility button is activated when in Tools > Preferences the set option for

Camera Visibility is “See only previous camera list”. Use this button to open the Camera Visibility

box and add or remove cameras in the list of visible cameras.

Remove From Tree Button

The Remove From Tree button is used to remove a specific camera, cine file or sub-group,

along with any objects under the sub-group tree.
