Browsing and Playing Clips

Default Settings Values

• Freeze on Marks:

This parameter specifies whether Multicam will freeze or not when it reaches a mark point set on the clip and/or the record train that is being played back.

By default, the playout does not freeze on the mark points when clips or record trains are being played. This can be changed from the LSM-VIA configuration tool with the Default Freeze on Mark Points parameter.

Playing a Clip

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

The lever can work according to different modes.

• standard mode
• second lever range mode
• PGM Speed mode
• VarMax mode

See section LSM-VIA Remote Panel Console.

 

The PGM Speed mode, the VarMax mode and the Second Lever Range mode are mutually exclusive.

When a clip is loaded, you can play it back in one of the following ways.

• Press the Play key to play the clip at the default playback speed.
• Move the lever up to play back the selected clip at a speed varying from 0% to 100%.

 

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.
 

Playout after Short OUT point

The clip stops playing on its (Short) OUT point.

If you want to play the clip after this point, you will first have to move the lever down to 0% before being allowed to play the clip. This is to avoid to unintentionally further play the clip after its OUT point.

You can play the clip in loop, according to the mode selected from the configuration tool with the Clip Loop Mode parameter:

• Loop: plays the loaded clip in a continuous loop.
• Bounce: plays the loaded clip from its IN point to its OUT point, then backwards from OUT to IN and so on.
1. Enter the Loop mode by pressing +.
2. Move the lever or press .

The Loop key display is highlighted on the console.

L is displayed on the OSD.

To play a media which is paused, or to pause a media which is being played out,

• Press + .
 

When a Remote Panel is linked to the LSM-VIA Viewer, the Play/Pause command applies to media loaded on the PGMs controlled by the Remote Panel, regardless of the Viewer pane which has the focus on.

In case no Remote Panel is connected to LSM-VIA, the Play/Pause command applies to the media loaded on the smallest PGM of the server.
