Selecting the Channel Control Mode

Introduction

You can control the play channels using two main different modes: PRV+PGM or Multi-PGM:

• The PGM+PRV allows interactions between all outputs. You can roll and chain synchronized replays between the cameras. This mode is used, for example, when playing out a playlist to chain the various playlist elements. The outputs can be controlled together, but also individually.
• 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 (PGM 1, 2, or 3).
 

When you open LSM-VIA and connect the Remote Panel, the default channel control mode is applied. This default mode is configured in the LSM-VIA Configuration tool. See section Default Channel Mode.
