Figure 20: Control Protocol Setup Window
VDCP Options As illustrated in Figure 13, a number of check boxes are provided that control how the Image
Server will respond to certain VDCP commands. Once set, these options remain selected when
the server is turned off, and until changed by the user.
Cue Shows 1st Frame
Upon receiving a Cue With Data or a Play Cue command, the server will cue the clip then jog to
and display the first frame of video.
Cue with Offset (vs. Timestamp)
When checked, the time code for the clip becomes “zero-based” with reference to the head point.
To move to the head point of the clip, the automation controller would send a time code value of
00:00:00:00, regardless of the clip’s original time stamp. When unchecked, the Image Server will
calculate time code position based upon the time stamp from the first frame of the original,
unedited clip.
Vari-Play 1X Equals Play
Image Server will interpret a Vari-play 1x command as a Play command.
Vari-Play 0 Equals Pause
Image Server will interpret a Vari-play 0x command as a Pause command.
