Overview
The aim of this manual is to familiarize the operator with the Multicam
software for EVS High Definition and Standard Definition servers, and its
Remote Panel, so as to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible the basic
operations.
The CLIP & PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT functions allow the operator to keep
up to 5400 clips on a server and of course to replay all or some of them. A
playlist consists of a list of clips (90 playlists can be defined) with video and
audio transitions.
The XNet option networks XNet servers and other machines into a fully
integrated production environment. Any clip, recorded by any server on the
network is available instantly for editing and/or play-out to any other
operator.
The SPLITSCREEN (horizontal, vertical or mix) option displays
simultaneously two synchronized actions side by side on the main program
output.
The PAINT option (Telestrator) draws and applies keying on the recorded
pictures. Sport actions can be analyzed using different coloured circles,
arrows and lines.
The TARGET TRACK option follows a target with a highlighted circle, box or
ellipse, and can zoom in the selected portion of the recorded pictures.
The OFFSIDE LINE option allows you to draw the offside line or area on the
screen by shading a portion the pitch.

1. Initial Configuration
1.1 APPLICATION SELECTION
The EVS software is used for configuration and maintenance operations. It is
also used to select which application configuration to run, since EVS disk
recorders have the ability to run various configurations (LSM 2REC 4PLAY,
LSM 3REC 3PLAY, LSM 4 REC 2 PLAY, SLSM, SLSM+1REC, etc.). In the
associated AVCFG module, you can also specify the channel configuration
you want to use and several audio and video parameters.
When turning on the EVS mainframe, the first step is the PC boot sequence,
then the EVS software is started:
•If a default application has been previously selected, this application will
start automatically after a few seconds if no key is hit.
•If a default application hasn't been defined or if the space bar is hit, the
system will remain in the EVS main menu and wait for the operator's
next command.
You will find complete information about regarding the EVS Menu in the XT
Tech Ref Software manual.

1.2 CONFIGURATION ON LSM REMOTE
Before you start using the Multicam application in Multicam LSM mode, you
need to ensure that the parameters are properly defined in the Setup menu
of the Remote Panel, and in the Setup Configuration module of the Multicam
application. The new parameters are saved as soon as they are modified.
Important
Prior to using Multicam, the operator should enter the Setup menu
and set all necessary parameters. If clips are stored with certain
parameters and the operator wishes to change them afterwards,
those clips and playlists will not change. It is thus important to set
these parameters first.
The Multicam Configuration manual includes a detailed description of all
settings which can be defined on the Remote Panel.
