DMAT-EZ, Instant Replay Controller Page 5 of 26
II. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The DMAT-EZ was created to allow simultaneous record and playback of
segments and list playout. All functions are performed from a single screen
except for some basic configuration items which have their own screen. The
session is started by a simple two-key press. The IN and OUT point of each
CUE can be marked and saved to CUEs and then be recalled for playback.
The IN and OUT points are editable to refine the CUE for optimal effect. CUEs
can be added to a list to form a playlist which can be used as a highlight reel
for later playout. There are more functions that will be described in the rest
of the manual. The DMAT-EZ is available as a 2 channel record and 2 channel
playback model (DMAT-x-22) and a 4 channel record and 4 channel playback
model (DMAT-x-44). Each model can be ordered with either ODETICS or
Grass Valley AMP control protocol.
III. INSTALLATION
The installation consists of connecting the control ports of the video server
channels to the RS422 connectors on the back of the DMAT-EZ and
connecting the power to all involved devices. The low er row of connectors is
for the PLAY channels, and the connector above each lower row connector is
for the corresponding RECORD channels.
A. Grouping
Grouping assigns channels that share media.
Model 44: There are three selections available:
1. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, are on the same server.
2. Channels 1, 2, and 3, 4 are on two different servers.
The channels of one server must be connected to the RS422
connectors 1 and 2. The channels of the other server must be
connected to the RS422 connectors 3 and 4.
3. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4 are on different servers.
Model 22: There are two selections available:
4. Channels 1 and 2 are on the same server.
5. Channels 1 and 2 are on different servers.
The record and play channel pairs of each server can be connected to the
RS422 connectors in any convenient order.
See connection diagram on page 8.
