Overview
The aim of this manual is to familiarize the operator with the Multicam software for EVS High Definition and Standard Definition servers, and its Remote Panel, so as to learn as quickly and efficient ly as poss ible t he bas ic operations.
The CLIP & PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT functions allow the operator to keep up to 5400 clips on a server and of course to replay all or some of them. A playlist consists of a list of clips (90 playlists can be defined) with video and audio transitions.
The XNet option networks XNet servers and other machines into a fully integrated production environment. Any clip, recorded by any server on the network is available instantly for editing and/or play-out to any ot her operator.
The SPLITS CRE EN (horizontal, vertical or mix) option displays simultaneously two synchronized actions side by side on the main prog ram output.
The PAINT option (Telestrat or) draws and applies keying on the recorded pictures. Sport actions can be analyzed using differ ent colored circles, arrows and lines.
The TARGET TRACK option follows a target with a highlighted circle, box or ellipse, and can zoom in the selec ted portion of the recorded pictures.
The OFFSIDE LINE option allows you to draw the offside line or area on the screen by shading a portion the pitch.

1. Initial Configuration

1.1 APPLICA TION SELECTION

The EVS software is used for configuration and maintenance operations. It is also used to select which application configuration to run, since EVS disk recorders have the ability to run various configurations (LSM 2REC 4PLAY, LSM 3REC 3PLAY, LSM 4 REC 2 PLAY, SLSM, SLSM+1REC, etc.). In the associated AVCFG module, you can also specify the channel configuration you want to use and several audio and video parameters.
When turning on the EVS mainframe, the first step is the PC boot sequence, then the EVS software is started:
• If a default application has been previously selected, this application will start
automatic ally aft er a few seconds if no key is hit.
• If a default application hasn't been defined or if the space bar is hit, the
system will remain in the EVS main menu and wait for the operator's next command.
You will find complete information about regarding the EVS Menu in the XT Tech Ref Software manual.

1.2 CONFIGURATION ON LSM REMOTE

Before you start using the Multicam application in Multicam LSM mode, you need to ensure that the parameters are properly defined in the Setup menu of the Remote Panel, and in the Setup Configurat ion module of the Multicam appli cation. The new parameters are saved as soon as t hey are modified.
Important
Prior to using Multicam, the operator should enter the Setup menu and set all necessary parameters. If clips are stored with certain parameters and the operator wishes to change them afterwards, those clips and playlists will not change. It is thus important to set these parameters first.
The Multicam Configuration manual includes a detailed description of all settings which can be defined on the Remote Panel.

4.1.2 MARK

This function m arks up to 256 cues that can be mar ked while recording or playing. The cues are marked on the LIVE or PLAYBACK program depending on the value set in the Setup menu. When the operator has marked 256 cues, the next one will overwrite the oldest one.

4.1.3 LAST CUE

This function re-cues the EVS server to previous cue point re lative to the current timecode position. Each time the Last Cue button is pressed, the EVS server re­cues to the previous cue, etc. When recalling a cue point, the cue num ber appears in the upper left corner of the OSD if this option is enabled in the Setup menu (page 1. 1, F4)

4.1.4 PLAY

This function initiates a forward motion. It can also be used to start playback of playlists and clips (refer to PLST command).
When Pgm Spd/Var Max is OFF, the default playback speed when pressing the PLAY key is 100% for standard pictures, 33% for Super Motion pictures with a Triple Speed camera (SD), and 50% for Super Motion pictures with a Double Speed camera (HD),.
When Pgm Spd/Var Max is ON, the value defined in the Setup for this parameter is used.

This function defines the OUT point of a clip. This operates similarly to the IN button.
Modif ication of Clip IN / O UT Poin ts
The key lights g reen if an IN point exist s but is not t he image you see.
The key lights red if the on-air image is at this IN point. This point can be entered while recording.
In Split Audio mode, this key can be flashing green or flashing red. Refer to the section 11.15 ‘Split Audio’, on page 120 for more det ails.
Note
The OUT point (field) is always excluded. When playing a clip, it will freeze on the field preceding the OUT point marked by the operator.
Select the clip that you wish to modify, use the jog dial to position the material at the new IN or OUT point, and re-mark the IN or OUT point(s) as req uired.
Important
When IN/OUT point s are set and a clip is saved, the system automatically write­IN/OUT points respectively. These are referred to as the guardbands. Their duration can be set in the Setup menu under «Guardbands» (page 2, F2) as req uir ed.
The duration of the guardband after the OUT point can be reduced according to the quantity of video/audio material available when saving the clip.

The jog dial is active at all times when the system is in play & record. The brake is automatically turned on when starting a playback with the
PLAY key or with the lever, or when returning to E2E mode with the RECORD button.

4.1.9 LEVER

This function is used to perform slow-motion from 0 to 100%, and to playback material from - 100 to + 100% or from - 200 to + 200% when Secondary Lever range is selected. The lever has a continuous, linear range, except when Super Motion material is loaded on the primary channel. In this case, there is a “flat step” at 33% (SD Super Motion) or 50% (HD Super Motion) to help the operator locating easily the ideal pla yback speed.
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA – January 2011
4.1.10 PLST

This function is not active if the current playlist is empty. If the current playlist is not empty, pressing PLST once enters t he Playlist Edit mode.

• Pressing PLST fr om t he P lay list Edit mode enters the Playlist Playout mode.
• Pressing PLST from the Playlist Playout mode re-cues the playlist to its
beginning.
• Pressing 3 times PLST will always cue up the playlist ready to roll.
To play back a p laylist that has been cued, press the PLAY button and it will roll at the preset speeds.
Important
When playing Super Motion material in slow motion, to obtain the smoothest replay, it is important t hat the replay s peed is exactly the ideal slow motion speed, i.e. 33% for SD Super Motion or 50% for HD Super Motion. If the replay speed is slightly off these ideal values, movements might appear staggered. These ideal speeds can also be called directly by pressing the PLAY button when the current element is Super Motion. The PGM speed and Var Max modes can also be used to facilitate this. See Chapter 6 ‘PGM-PRV Mode’ on page 27 for a description on these modes.

4.1.11 BROWSE

When a clip is loaded on the primary channel, pressing the BROWSE key allows the operator to browse inside all local clips of the database by turning the jog dial.

CLEAR + MARK key. A m essage appears to c onfirm the command.

4.1.16 NETWORK

This function gives access to the clips and/or record trains of other machines on the network. After the selection of the machine, the way of selecting clips and camera angles is similar to clips selection on the local LSM system. Refer to the Chapter 13 ‘O perating on XNet Network’, on page 150 for more details.
