6. Timeline Management
6.1. Introduction
Description
Note
The timeline feature is a software option that requires the license code 112 being
installed, and is therefore only available on XT3 and XT2+ chassis. For more
information on the required license key, contact the Support or Sales team.
The timeline feature allows you to insert audio and/or video content from the record train or
from a clip into any position of the timeline, on individual tracks of the timeline.
The timelines are stored on the playlist banks. They can be created from an empty playlist
position, or are based on an existing playlist that you convert into a timeline.
Each timeline includes one video track and two audio tracks. Each audio track is
associated to a number of audio mono channels defined in the Mono per group
parameter, in the Operation tab of the Multicam Configuration module.
Timelines can be created on the server:
• from the Remote Panelor from the VGA interface
• via the IPEdit application in IPDirector
Principles for Timeline Access
The access to timelines from IPEdit and the Remote Panel follows the principles defined
below:
• Two player channels are required to load a timeline. This pair of player channels is
called the timeline engine.
◦ In Multicam, you can load a timeline in PGM/PRV or in multi-PGM mode. When
you work in 3 PGM mode, the timeline will automatically be loaded on PGM1 and
PGM2 will automatically be included in the timeline engine PGM1/PGM2.
◦ In IPEdit, you need to select a timeline engine (PGM1/PGM2 or PGM3/PGM4)
before you load or create a timeline.
• It is not possible to load or play the same timeline at a time in IPEdit and in Multicam,
using the same timeline engine.
However, you can load or play the same timeline on two different timeline engines.
When the parallel control mode is set up, the control switches to exclusive mode on
the channels where a timeline is loaded.
• It is not possible to edit the same timeline at a time from IPEdit and from the Remote
Panel using different timeline engines.
