Multi-Operator Mode

Description

This feature allows up to 4 operators to work independently on the same server from their respective LSM-VIA workstation and remote.

This mode has the following main characteristics:

• All operators share the clips and playlist pages.
• Each operator can define the configuration parameters for their own needs without interfering with the other operators.

The configuration is done on each workstation from the Infrastructure settings of the LSM-VIA configuration tool.

1. On each workstation, set the number of operators working with the same EVS server thanks to the Total Number of LSM-VIA Connected to the Server parameter. It must be the same on each workstation.
2. On each workstation, each operator must select his/her operator number thanks to the Operator Position parameter. It must therefore be different on each workstation.
3. On each workstation, each operator must select the recorder channels (s)he will work with thanks to the Operator Recorders parameter.

The same recorders can be selected by several operators.

The remote buttons will automatically be mapped appropriately. For example, the selected recorders B, C, E, L will be mapped on buttons A, B, C and D.

• When 2 operators work with the same server, Operator #1 will configure his/her workstation as follows:

Total Number of LSM-VIA Connected to the Server = 2

Operator Position = Operator 1

• When 4 operators work with the same server,
◦ Operator #3 will configure his/her workstation as follows:

Total Number of LSM-VIA Connected to the Server = 4

Operator Position = Operator 3

◦ Operator #4 will configure his/her workstation as follows:

Total Number of LSM-VIA Connected to the Server = 4

Operator Position = Operator 4

According to the Total Number of LSM-VIA Connected to the Server and the Operator Position parameters, the player channels will be split between the operators.

• The number of available players on the server is divided by the total number of LSM-VIA connected to the server. If there are more players than LSM-VIA (operators), the first operator(s) get(s) more players.
• The first operator receives the first player(s).

Examples:

• 4 operators in a 8IN/4OUT configuration: PGM1 is for Operator 1, PGM2 for Operator 2,...
• 4 operators in a 6IN/6OUT configuration: PGM1 and PGM2 are for Operator 1, PGM3 and PGM4 are for Operator 2, PGM5 is for Operator 3 and PGM6 is for Operator 4.
• 3 operators in a 6IN/6OUT configuration: PGM1 and PGM2 are for Operator 1, PGM3 and PGM4 are for Operator 2, PGM5 and PGM6 are for Operator 3.

The remote buttons will automatically be mapped appropriately.
