Process Manager MTX

Playout Process It is possible to have a live preview of what is going on the decoder It is also possible to have an OSD with the playing clip and cued clip, the Audio Vmeter, and the Timecode

Ingest Process No particular action is available here, because all the setting is done using the resource editor in the configuration module. Using Etere Ingest module, it is also possible to set the encoder in different way, (ex. MPeg2, DV25, Xdcam, etc) in real time before you start the recording process.

Graphic Process Is displaying just the status of the process, if is needed a live preview is possible to see in the playout process.
