LSM-VIA Remote Panel Console

The LSM-VIA Remote Panel console features the areas highlighted on the screenshot below.

This section does not detail all key functions since they vary depending on the activated mode. The specific key functions will be detailed further in this manual.

These keys allow you to apply predefined functions mapped to the buttons.

See section Commands from the Assignable Shortcut Keys.

Key Name

Used among others to ...

MENU
• access the Main menu: SHIFT + MENU.
• cancel an action.

SHIFT
• access the key command specified in the upper part of the key display of the operational blocks, for example 'Page' in this screenshot.

In this case, you press SHIFT and then the corresponding key to send a Page command.

CLEAR
• delete a selected clip, bank, playlist, etc.

ENTER
• confirm/validate an action.

These keys mainly allow you to access the various pages, banks, and positions in the banks, as well as to save and load clips stored on these positions, or to change the active playlist.

Some of them can also be used from the Main menu.

The operational blocks (4 / 5 / 6) are groups of operational keys (4a, 5a, 6a) associated with a display (4b, 5b, 6b) which shows the operations available based on the current Remote Panel mode. Each key allows users to access two functions.

• The command displayed in the lower part of the key display is available when you press the key.

The lever allows you to play the loaded media or to modify the playout speed.

The lever can work according to different modes.

• In standard mode, the speed range available with the lever goes from 0 (bottom) to 100% (top).

The lever has a continuous, linear range, except when supermotion material is loaded on the primary channel. In this case, a “flat step”, that depends on the supermotion camera (50% in SLSM 2x, 33% in SLSM 3x, ...), helps the operator locating easily the ideal playback speed.

 

When playing supermotion material in slow motion, to obtain the smoothest replay, it is important that the replay speed is exactly the ideal slow motion speed, for example 50% for SLSM 2x, 33% for SLSM 3x. 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 key when the current element is Super Motion.

 

 

When supermotion material is loaded on the primary channel, the lever range has a larger, flat step at 50% in SLSM 2x, 33% in SLSM 3x, ...

The jog dial allows users to:

• browse the media loaded on the controlled channel(s).

Moving the jog clockwise browses forward, and moving it counter-clockwise browses backwards.

When using the Fast Jog mode, the browsing speed of the jog dial is multiplied by a factor defined in the LSM-VIA configuration tool.

• browse inside
◦ the current playlist: see section Browsing a Playlist.
◦ the list of results from a Search TC operation: see section Searching for Clips or Trains by Timecode.
◦ the mark points: see sections Managing Mark Points on Trains and Managing Mark Points on Clips.

The jog is active at all times when the system is in play and record mode.
