Harris ADC Device Server User’s Guide
2-6 Configuration Manager
1. Display the configured devices (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-4).
2. Drag a device from the left side to the right side to delete it (from the Configured pane to the
Available pane). A confirmation box appears asking if you wish to delete the device.
3. Click OK to delete the device and return it to the list of available devices.
NOTE: If you delete a configured cart machine, the cart machine ejects tapes from VTRs
and returns the tapes to their locations in the bins. As a result, a slight delay in
deleting the cart machine may occur. The server eventually removes the device
from its list of configured devices, with no further operator intervention required.
Configuring Lists
After devices have been configured, they may be assigned to a list. A list of available devices
appears, based on what devices were configured earlier. See “Configuring Devices” on page 2-
3 for details on how to configure devices.
Four types of lists are available to choose from:
Play list. Sends commands from play list data files to air devices. Assign devices to Play
List for on-air playout.
Media list. Sends commands generated by Media Client to media preparation devices, such
as VTRs, video disks, and cart machines. Assigning devices to Media List makes the device
available exclusively to Media Client.
GMT list. Executes commands to and from GMT components. Only GMT components
should be assigned to GMT List, as they will be unavailable to other lists.
Compile list. Use a compile list to combine several spots onto one tape. This reduces the
number of devices required during playout. Without compilation, each spot is recorded
onto a separate tape and each tape requires a separate playout device.
To configure a list, do the following:
1. Right click on the server, then select List Configurations (selecting File, List Configurations also
accesses the same dialog box, similar to the following:)
