Clip Loading
External devices are controlled using various protocols (BVW, Odetics, AMP). These
protocols have different capabilities, and specific models of external devices may support
only specific protocols. The exact clip/scene loading procedures, if available, will vary
depending on the device model and protocol being employed.
In general, clips/scenes are loaded from the Devices Control menu by selecting the
Program Clip/Scene data pad then selecting the clip/scene from the list displayed.
Note: GV Switcher systems do not support Unicode characters in the
AMP Protocol.
Clip Directory (AMP Protocol)
If you change a clip locally on the Summit/Solo server, that clip name will be updated on
the GV Switcher Devices menus. If the folder list or clip list are incomplete, re-enabling the
device will fetch the entire folder and clip list. A maximum of 20 folders is recommended
along with a maximum of 20 clips per folder.
CAUTION: Do not create file or folder names that have the pound
character ( # ) along with either the dash ( - ) or underscore
( _ ), and avoid blank spaces (for example, use “DeadEnd” not
“Dead End”. This can inhibit clip access).
