Powerware Model V-2000B User Manual

70 = Automation Control 

 

Figure 20:  Control Protocol Setup Window 

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. 

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. 

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.   

Image Server will interpret a Vari-play 1x command as a Play command. 

Image Server will interpret a Vari-play 0x command as a Pause command.
