OPERATION MANUAL Nano 11.02

1. Overview

The aim of this manual is to familiarize the operatorwith the Multicam software for EVS
High Definition andStandardDefinition servers, and its Remote Panel, so as to learn as
quickly and efficiently as possible the basic 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 (90playlists can be defined) with videoand audio transitions.

1. Overview 1

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

2. Working Interfaces

2.1. Overview

Several User Interfaces

The EVS server can be operated from several user interfaces that can work
complementarily:

• VGA interface

• Remote Panel interface

• LSM.Connect application

• Xscreen application

Initial Configuration

Warning

Beforeyou start using Multicam with the Nano Remote Panel, you need to
ensure that the parameters are properly set for the configuration line you want to
run.
If clips are stored with certainparameters and the operator wishes to change the
parameter values afterwards, those clips and playlists will not change. It is thus
important to set the requested parameters first.

The Multicam Setup and Configuration modules of the VGA interface are used for
configurationand maintenance operations. A web-based user interface for distant
configurationis also available. A Technical and Operational Setup menus are also
available from the Remote Panel to configure the most important Multicam parameters.

The Multicam Setup window is used to select the configuration you want to run Multicam
with, since EVS disk recorders have the ability to run various configurations.

The Multicam Configuration window and included tabs allow users to define the channel
configurationassociated to a configurationline, audio and video parameters, andall
operational parameters.

You will find detailed information on Multicam configuration from the VGA and from the
Remote Panels in the EVS Server Configurationmanuals.

2 2. Working Interfaces

OPERATION MANUAL Nano 11.02

VGA Interface

When turning on the EVS mainframe, the first step is the PC boot sequence, then the
Multicam Setup window is displayed:

• If a default application has beenpreviously selected, this application will start
automatically after a few seconds if no key is hit.

• If a default application hasn't been defined or if the space baris hit, the system will
remain in the Multicam Setupwindow andwait for the operator's next command.

A configuration line called Sportlight will be available in the Application window for use
with the Nano Remote Panel.

When Multicam is started in the selected configuration, the operational windows allow
users to perform simple actions.

The Operational windows include the Keywordwindow, the Search Clip window, the Clip
window, and the Playlist/Timeline window. They are described in this manual, as well as
the possible actions from these windows.

Remote Panel Interface

The Remote Panel keys and main menuare describedin the following sections:

• See section "Remote Panel Controls" on page 4

• See section "Remote Panel Operations" on page 11

LSM Connect Application

CLEAR

This function clears the IN / OUT/ playlist / CLIPS / CUE points.

Note

• To clear one CUE point, recall the desired cue point and press
CLEAR+MARK key.

• To clear all cues: whencurrent picture is not a CUE point, press
CLEAR+MARK key. A messageappears to confirm the command.

ENTER

This function appends clip(s) at the endof the current playlist. This is also used to confirm
saving of clips, and validate various options and messages.

2.3.3. Function of the Operational Block 1 Keys

Loop

It enables the internal Loop mode. The button will flash red in this mode and “LOOP” will
appear on the OSD of the output monitors. When the user selects the Loop mode, the loop
has to be cabledfrom the HD/SD “clean” output of PGM1 to the Loop In connector.

The loopis performed on the audio andvideo components of the PGM1 output, or on the
video only, depending on the Internal Loop parameter of the Operational Setup menu,
(p.9.2 F6). In audio embedded, the audiois also looped, whatever the value defined for the
Internal Loop parameter.

To leave the loop mode, you need to press SHIFT+LOOP again.

Note

By default, users have to connect the clean SDI output to the Loop In connector
given that the OSD of the output monitors are not disabled. If users want to use
the output monitor with characters out, they have to start the Multicam
application with the followingparameter : /LOOP_SDI_MON.

This is very useful to “consolidate” effects and edits, or adding live sound or music or
voice to previously recordedmaterial when only the video is looped back into the server.

Note

When playing back at 200% in loop mode, then replaying the looped sequence
at 50%, you can obtain a “film effect”.

2. Working Interfaces 13

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

PLST

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

• Pressing PLST from the Playlist Edit mode enters the Playlist Playout mode.

Insert

This function inserts a clip before or after (dependingon the Setup menu) the current
position inside the playlist.

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 turningthe jog dial.

When a cue point exists for the current picture on the primary channel (theCUE button
lights red), pressing the BROWSE key allows the operator to browse through all existing
cue points by turning the jog dial.

When the current picture on the primary channel is neither a clip nor a cue point, or if the
operator is in Playlist mode, pressing the BROWSE key allows him to browse inside the
clips of the current playlist by turning the jog dial.

Goto IN

When you are in CLIP mode, this key combination enables the operatorto go to IN / OUT
points of clips, instantly.

IN

This function defines the IN point of a clip. The key will light differently dependingon the
following situations:

• Green key The key lights green if an IN point exists but is not the image you see.

• Red key The key lights red if the on-air image is at this IN point. This point can be
entered while recording.

• Duringa Replace operation on a playlist, this key will flash red if trying to insert an IN
marker on a transition, as this is not allowed.

• Duringan Extend operationon a timeline, this key will flash reduntil you jog. At that
time, it will flash green until the operationis confirmed using the CAM D key.

14 2. Working Interfaces

OPERATION MANUAL Nano 11.02

Goto OUT

When you are in CLIP mode, this key combination enables the operatorto go to IN / OUT
points of clips, instantly.

OUT

This function defines the OUT point of a clip. This operates similarly to the IN button.

Modification of Clip IN / OUT Points

Select the clip that you wish to modify, use the jog dial to position the material at the new
IN or OUT point, andre-mark the IN or OUT point(s) as required.

Warning

When IN/OUT points are set and a clip is saved, the system automatically
write-protects a user definable length of material before andafter the IN/OUT
points respectively. These are referredto as the guardbands. Their duration can
be set with the Default clip duration parameter in the Operational Setupmenu
(p.2.2 F2) as required.

Lever

This function is used to perform slow motionfrom 0 to 100% and to playback material from
100to + 100% or from 200 to + 200% when Secondary Lever range is selected. The lever
has a continuous, linearrange, except when Super Motion material is loaded on the
primary channel. In this case, there is a “flat step”at 33% (SD SuperMotion) or 50% (HD
Super Motion) to help the operator locating easily the ideal playback speed.

Warning

When playing Super Motion material in slow motion, to obtain the smoothest
replay, it is important that the replay speed 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 appearstaggered.
These ideal speeds can also be called directly by pressing the PLAY button
when the current element is SuperMotion. ThePGM speed andVar Max modes
can also beused to facilitate this. See Chapter6 ‘PGM-PRV Mode’ on page26
for a description on these modes.

the lever, or whenreturning to E2E mode with the RECORD button.

Mark

This function marks up to 256 cues that can be markedwhile recording or playing. The
cues are marked on the LIVE or PLAYBACK program depending on the valueset in the
Setup menu. When the operatorhas marked 256 cues, the next onewill overwrite the
oldest one.

Return

Inside a clip, press the RETURN key to remain on the same picture, but inside the record
train instead of the clip (if that picture still exists in the record train). This is useful when a
clip is too tight and you want to use material beyondthe current IN or OUT point.

RECORD

This key lights red when the system is recording. Pressing this key brings the system in
E/E (“live”) mode, and starts the record if necessary (depending on the settings of the
Setup menu). The E/E mode is actually playingpictures already recorded by the system,
andhas a delay of 3 frames compared to the live source, on all audio and video tracks.

force the Multicam application to close abruptly, andup to 1 minute of the material being
recorded and not clipped could be lost.

To reboot, press the following key sequence,

Between step 3 and step 4, the RECORD button will flash GREEN and the PAGE button
will flash RED. Hitting the PAGE button will reboot the system. Hitting the RECORD
button will return to normal operation.

«Soft Reboot» from the Keyboard

It is also possible to run a «soft reboot» which will exit the software and returnthe user to
the EVS Menu. Here, the software can be selected and entered again without having to
reboot the entire system. When running the followingprocedure, the system will
automatically save all recorded material (record trains, clips, playlists) upon exit.

Hit ALT+Q on the keyboardor press F6 from the mainMenu, and confirm with ENTER or
cancel with ESC. You will exit the Multicam software and go back to the EVS Menu.

3.1. Live, Search or Playback Mode

Multicam can be set in three different basic modes, depending on commands used:

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.

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.

Playback Mode

Moving the lever or 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 recordthe incomingsignal on disks.
As soon as the lever is moved, Multicam starts playing back from the current picture. The

playback speedis defined by the lever position. This is used to start the playback of a
normal slow motion, as well as the playback of a clip or a playlist. During playback, the
system never stops recording

Note

Each operation on the Remote Panel with the control jog or lever will be
associated to the Search orPlayback mode respectively.

3.2.1. 1PGM+PRV Mode

Introduction

Multicam has two modes for its basic operation, 1PRV+PGM and Multi PGM:

• The 1PGM+PRV mode is more powerful as it allows interaction between all outputs.

Synchronized replays can be rolled andchained between the cameras with either a
mix, a wipe, or a cut between them.

• The Multi PGM mode is more basic but gives the operator independent control of all

outputs. These outputs can be controlled together (such as jogging back to a certain
action on all outputs) or individually (eitherPGM 1 or2).

How to Enter the PGM+PRV Mode

To enter the 1PGM+PRV mode, press A from the Main menu. The Remote Panel will then

Playlist Conditional Mode

This mode is only available in 2PGM mode. It allows the operator to loadand control
several playlists simultaneously from the same Remote Panel, orto load a playlist on one
channel while performing other operations on the other channel(s). To use this mode, the
Load Playlist parameter of the Operational Setup menu must be set to Conditional (p.3.3
F2).

To use this mode, select one channel (for example PGM1), andpress the PLST key one,
two or three times to enter the PLST EDIT or the PLST DIFF mode (refer to the “Playlist
Management” Section of this manual for details about these modes). You can notice that
the TAKE key lights green. Pressing the TAKE key will allow the operator to return to the

3.4. Synchronization Mode (Switch To In)

The Synchronization mode allows users to define how they jump from onecamera to the
other. The Synchronization mode is available in the secondary menu from the main LCD
display, using the B soft key.

If the Synchronization mode is OFF (SW to IN is not highlighted in the secondary menu), 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 modeis ON, a request for a camera change(by pressing CAM A,
CAM B, CAM C, or CAM D in the Multicam menu)will leadto a jump to a predefined
CUE IN point.

If a CUE IN point has not been previously defined, Multicam acts as in SW to IN OFF
mode (even if SW to IN ON is shown) because the system has no reference to jump to.

3.5. Preference Mode (PREF)

The Preference mode allows users to show the preferential camera angle by default when
a clip is loaded. The Preference mode is available in the secondary menu from the main
LCD display, using the D soft key.

When this optionis ON and a clip is recalled, the preferred camera will be displayed on the
main output, even if another camera angle was previously loadedon that output.

The preferred camera is the one, which was onthe primary output channel when the clip
was created.

The second preferential camera (“secondary camera”) is the one that was loaded on the
next channel when the clip was created.

In the Clip screen, the first preferential camera is indicated by a star: 111B* and the
second preferential camera is indicated by 2 dashes: 111B=.

When the preference option is disabled, the PGM output stays on the camera currently
selected when the clip is called.

Controlled Channel

A channel is "controlled" whenthe operator can control it with the jog dial. In this case, the
words "FULL CTRL" are present on the top of the OSD of the output monitor of that
channel.

Primary Channel

The primary channel is the first controlled channel. It is identified by stars around its name
on the OSD of the output monitor and on the LCD display of the Remote Panel (ex:

4. Clip Management

4.1. Introduction

4.1.1. Clip Structure

Concepts

A clip is defined by Short IN andShort OUT points. When referring to Short IN and Short
OUT points, the operators usually use the terms IN point andOUT point.

When Short IN and Short OUT points are set, the system automatically write protects a
user definable length of material before andafter the Short IN/OUT points respectively,
these are referred to as the guardbands.

For this reason, the IN point before the guardbands and the OUT point after the guardband
arecalled Protect IN point and Protect OUT point.

Use of Guardbands

It is possible to trim a clip by redefining Short IN andShort OUT points.
If Short IN and Short OUT points are defined, only the fields between those two points will

be playedif the sequence is recalled(the same applies whenthe sequence is includedin a
playlist).

Fields between Protect IN andShort IN andfields between Short OUT and Protect OUT
(guardbands) can be reached with the jog. So the Short IN and Short OUT points can be
redefined.

4. Clip Management 31

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

General Principles

Protect IN & Protect OUT points of a clip cannot be replacedby new ones.
Short IN & Short OUT points of a clip can be replaced by new ones.
Short OUT point is excluded. The clip freezes on previous field whenplaying back (with

post-roll mode disabled).
(Short) IN & OUT are always on even fields. This is automatic.
The guardband beyond the Short OUT point is created with the material available when

the operator saves the clip by pressing the selected F_ key. Therefore, this guardband can
sometimes be shorter than the valuedefined in the Setup menu.

4.1.2. Clip Numbering Hierarchy

Introduction

Multicam can store up to 900(multiplied by the number of cameras) clips and 100 playlists
in its libraries. 900 clips with up to 6 cameraangles per clip result in 5400clips on a server.
This number is displayed in the upper right window of the VGA Setup screen (SHIFT+F2
from the PC keyboard).

OPERATION MANUAL Nano 11.02

Clip Hierarchy Diagram

The following diagram represents the hierarchy of the Multicam clip numberingsystem.

The clip numberingsystem is as follows:

In the above example, the

• “5”refers to the clip page number (1 to 10).

• “4”refers to the clip bank (1 to 9)

• “7”refers to the clip number (1 to 10) inside the bank

• "B" refers to the cameraname.

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

4.1.3. Clip Availability on Disks

Various clip types can be distinguished depending on whether they are availableon the
disks or not. Depending on the clip availability on disks, you can perform specific actions
on the given clip or not.

Clip Available Actions

Clip on disk Clips which are protected on disks, and which have Short IN and

Short OUT points present on disks.
All the material is available on the disk.

Growing clip Clips which are protected on disks, and which have a Short IN

point, and possibly Short OUT point defined on disks.
Since the record process is still undergoing, some of the material is
already on the disk but not all of it.

material between IN and OUT as a clip, hence preventing it to be deleted by the loop
recording.

When you save your clip, clips are created automatically on the following cameras:

• on the primary channel.

• on all cameras associated to a player channels.

• on all cameras for which the Automake Clip option is set to Yes in Multicam
Configurationwindow, Operation tab, Clips section.

A clip can be createdwith only an IN or only an OUT point. Thesystem will automatically
adjust the clip duration according to the default duration definedin the Setup menu (p.2.2

4. Clip Management 47

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

Playback Speed Options

• To play back a selected clip, with the lever, at a speed varying from 0% to a given
maximum speed, you needto do the following:

◦ Define the requested maximum speed in the PGM Speed/Var max parameter

(p.9.1 F3) in the Operational Setup menu.

◦ Select (highlight) the VarMax option in the secondary menu in PGM/PRV mode.

• To play back a selected clip, with the lever, at a given predefined speed, you need to
do the following:

◦ Define the requested maximum speed in the PGM Speed/Var max parameter

(p.9.1 F3) in the Operational Setup menu.

◦ Select (highlight) the PGMSpd option in the secondary menu in PGM/PRV mode.

Options for Camera Angle Selection

• If PREF is 'ON', the preferred camera angle of the clip appears on the primary
channel, the secondary camera angle on the next controlled channel, and the other
camera angles on the next channels in alphabetical order.

◦ Example: If the preferredcamera anglefor clip 124 is camera C, when loading the

clip, 124C is loadedon the primary channel, whatever the camera present on that
channel before loading the clip.

• If PREF is 'OFF', the camera angle will be the same as the onealready present on
each controlled channel. If that camera angle does not exist, the first available camera
angle of the clip is used.

◦ Example: If camera B is the current camera on the primary channel, whencalling

clip 124, it is 124B that appears onthe primary channel, even if it is not the
preferred camera angle.

• When the operator is controlling only one channel (such as with PRV CTL), the clip
appears at that location only. In the case of a clip containing a single camera angle (so
only an 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D' clip), whenin full control of all outputs, the clip recalled will
appear on the primary channel.

Growing Clips

You can recall and play back growing clips, or clips that are in the process of being
created on a disk.

• As long as the OUT point of a growing clip is not available on the EVS server, the LED
corresponding to the growing clip locationblinks green when it is called and red when
it is loaded on the Remote Panel. The clip LED will nolongerblink as soon as both IN
andOUT points are available on the EVS server.

• If the play reaches the end of the availablematerial, it freezes until new material is
available for play back. As soon as new material is available, the play resumes.

• When the OUT point of the clip is known, the remaining time is displayed, otherwise
the remaining time display is '--:--:--:--' until the entire clip is copied.

4.4.4. Copying and Moving Clips

Principles

• Copying a clip gives a new clip which is totally independent from the original. It can
thereforebe trimmed, named, deleted, etc. without affecting the original.

• Copying clips locally ona server does not duplicate the video and audio material on
the drives: it simply creates a separate reference to the same material. This means
that the available storage capacity will not decrease whenmaking copies of clips on a
server. It also means that deletedcopies of clips will not increase the available
capacity of the server, as the material will not be deleted as longas one instance of
the clip remains.

• When moving a clip using the Move function, the reference to this clip in playlists will
automatically be updated. This is very useful whenyou wish to re-organize yourclips
across different pages and banks, since playlists are not affected. If you copy the
clips andthendelete the originals instead of using the Move function, the reference to
the original clips will be removed from the playlists when deleting these clips.

In the Remote Panel Interface

To copy or move a clip, proceed as follows.

1. Select the original clip. It can be a local or a growing clip.

2. Select an empty location.

commands, in the same way as you do with clips.

From the Remote Panel, you can only copy playlists.
The copy process is seamless to the user as long or short copies of a playlist are

performed as a background process. If the destination playlist is recalled and the on-air
playlist element has not yet been transferredto the local machine, the on-air element
playedout is the original one. The on-air element will be automatically copied locally when
the playlist will be removedfrom the playout channel.

You can only copy and move playlists locally.

Copy Options

When you copy a playlist, you have different options:

• The EDL copy copies only the playlist definition while the playlist elements remain at

their original location.

• The EDL+Clips copy copies the playlist definition and the playlist elements to the

destination. In this case, you must also choose one of the following:
◦ The short copy that copies only the material included betweenthe IN and OUT

points of the playlist elements with the clip guardbands as defined on the
destination system.

◦ The long copy that copies the complete original clips. This makes a difference

when the playlist elements have been trimmed compared to the original clip.

EDL+Clips copy processes cannot be queued. If the operator tries startinga new copy
process while the previous one is still running, a message will ask him whether he wants
to stop the previous process to start the new one, orcancel his new request.

5.6.5. Adding Cuts in Playlist Elements

Description

The Add Cut command is only availablefrom the Remote Panel. This command
duplicates a playlist or timeline element (clip, record train...) and adjusts the SHORT IN
andSHORT OUT points of these new duplicated elements:

• On both these elements, the guardbands and other effects are kept unchanged as in

the original one.

• In the first duplicatedelement, the SHORT IN point is left unchanged while the

SHORT OUT point is adjusted to the cut point.

• In the second duplicated element, the SHORT OUT point is left unchanged while the

SHORT INpoint is adjusted to the cut point as illustrated hereunder.

Multicam Behavior

When adding a cut to a clip, Multicam will behave as follows:

• The transition appliedat the cut point is a cut (for both audio and video).

• The speed of the cut elements is the same as the original element, even if it is

“Unknown”.

• The stop and start modes of the cut elements are auto.

• Any loop definedon the playlist that includes the original element conserves and

includes the cut elements.

• Any tag defined and active on the original element at the cut point is recreated at the

short-in of the second cut element.

5.7.3. Using the Replace Function

Introduction

The purpose of the Replace function is to consolidate the effects defined on a playlist as
follows:

The operator loops a section or an entire playlist back to themselves and, duringthe
playback, add some effects externally (graphic insertion for instance) or internally
(changing the speed).

While the operator plays the playlist back, and inserts the requested effects, the playback
result is re-injected into the playlist from a predefined IN frame. The OUT point of the
replaced section is predefinedor manually defined in the record process.

The Replace function is only available on the Remote Panel.

Note

The Replace function is not allowed on playlists containing growing clips.

Accessing the Replace Function

Press MENU in Playlist Edit mode to open the secondary menu with the Replace
function. Select Replace in this menu to access the Replace function :

Replace Edit Mode

This mode allows to specify the following information for the Replace:

• IN point and OUT point, for the section to replace in the playlist. The OUT point can

also be defined during the Replace itself.

• Loop mode parameters.
In the Replace Edit mode, the playlist is considered as one entity on which you can mark

oneIN point and one OUT point (pressing the IN and OUT points does not retrim the
current playlist clip).

Those IN andOUT points will be used to determine what portion of the playlist will be
replaced.

5. PlaylistManagement 89

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

EVS Broadcast Equipment S.A. Issue 11.02.A July2013

• The External Loop allows you to select onwhich channel you will physically re-record
the output of yourPGM. The link is physical: it is necessary to make the video link
manually with a router or video/audio cables; it is not done inside the server.

Additional parameters are available for the external loop:

• With the Cam A function (SHIFT+C), you can select the camerathe PGM will be
recorded to for the external LOOP process. Press SHIFT+C until the desired camera
is selected.

• With the +2fields function (SHIFT+D), you can select by how much the video coming

5.7.4. Adding an Auxiliary Audio Clip

Introduction

This option allows adding a new stereoaudio track (e.g. sport comments, music, jingles,
ambient sound) to the original video clips. This is only available from the Remote Panel.

This stereoaudio track is available on the PVW output and on analogue outputs 7/8 or on
digital outputs 15/16. Theselection of the track output is done with the Audio slow motion
parameter in the Operational Setup menu (p.8.1 F1).

The original audio tracks are still availableon outputs 1/2 (3/4). Theauxiliary audio clip
selected is always played back with normal speed (100%), whateverthe selected
playback speedfor the video.

When the playback of the playlist is not started from the beginning, the system calculates
the offset between the current position and the beginningof the playlist, andapplies the
same offset to the Aux. Clip, so that it can remain synchronizedwith the playlist.

If the duration of the Aux Clip is longer than the playlist duration, the auxiliary audio clip
keeps playing even after the videohas stopped. Otherwise, the audio clip ends itself
before the end of the playlist, whenthe audio clip reaches its OUT point.
