The "Edit Resource" form allows one to define an Evertz (Quartz) master control resource. Some of the devices supported by this resource include QMC-MCS and EMC.
The fields required for its configuration are following described:
READ-ONLY INFO
Code - The path of the resource that you are editing is displayed.
Type - Shows the type the resource belongs to (e.g. MAST).
Number - Ordinal number that differentiates the resource from others of the same type.
RESOURCE PROPERTIES
Name - A brief description that identifies the resource that must be inserted.
Driver - Available drivers include: MCQUARTZ - Driver for generic use.
7825 - Driver for Quartz/Evertz 7800 series products with an optimized execution timing (1 frame delay is added between commands).
E19 Resource ID - Optionally, insert the ID of the resource created under the Resource Editor module for this resource. This identification number is used, for example, to check the storage space usage of the resource.
RESOURCE PARAMETERS
Transition speed - Set the three transition speeds in milliseconds (slow, medium and fast) related to the time the DVE (Digital Video Effects) will take to complete a given task.
Use the up and down arrows to adjust the value or type of the required fields.
Number of channels - Specify how many input channels (max. 2) and output channels (max. 1) will be managed by the device (this information is used to edit the channels in the resources tree).
Behaviour for Unused Keyers - This parameter allows specifying the system behaviour for managing unused Keyers:
On taking, left unchanged, the unused keyers in the take (default) - If enabled, every time a TAKE transition is performed, the DSK arm status before the transition will be temporarily stored to allow subsequently restoring the keyers in the PGM BUS, which were not used.
In this way, the current on-air status of the DSK will be maintained.
On preset, left unchanged, the unused keyers in the preset - If enabled, every time a PRESET transition is performed, the DSK arm status before the transition will be temporarily stored to allow subsequently restoring the keyers in the PST BUS which were not used.
This way, unused keyers will be aired, depending on their preset configuration.
Once compiled, click the [Confirm] button to add the MASTER CONTROL resource to the Resources tree (4 DSK resources will be automatically created within the master control). After which, it will be possible to configure the:
•Device users: Select the resource and click the [Users] button.
NB: In case channel branding capabilities are supported by the resource (e.g. Evertz 3025EMC), creating a new Logo Generator > Quartz resource to use them will be possible.
Quartz Master Control resource editor - User
Indicate to which user and to which module or program the relevant resource must be activated by specifying the following:
READ-ONLY INFO
Resource - Code of the resource channel.
Name - Name of the resource channel.
ID Number -Identification number of the resource channel.
USER INFORMATION
PC Name - Indicate the specific workstation (user) for which the resource will be allowed. Once selected, it will be automatically retrieved and displayed the ID number and PC name corresponding to the selected user.
Function - Indicate the module (function) on which the user mentioned above will be allowed to use the resource in question
USER PARAMETERS
Com Number - Indicate the number of the PC that the device is connected to.
Via UDP - If the device can be controlled directly through UDP with the Etere Sarvaji software, indicate the IP address of the computer that EtereSarvaji runs on and the Local Port that EtereSarvaji uses for listening.
Com configuration: - This data is fixed to Baudrate (38400), Parity (None), Databits (8) and Stopbits (1).
The resource must be set with the default data displayed here.
422 - Device (out): Indicate the no. of the device to be activated when you open the resource.(-1=not installed)
Controller (in): Indicate the no. of the controller to be activated when you open the resource.(-1=not installed)
NB: In exceptional cases where you have a centralized video router, which allows one to commute serial ports, set the data above to 422.
SERIAL PORTS CONNECTION
Pinouts - The interface connector on the QMC equipment is either a D9 socket or an RJ45 connector using the pinouts described below.
NB: RS232 or RS422 can be selected on QMC's main processor module, FU-0003 (CI-0005). The interface cable only needs to use TX, RX, and GND (RS232) or TX+, TX-, Rx+, Rx-, 0V (RS422).
