The Image Server can play video with seamless transitions from all three outputs. (Earlier software 
versions had 2-channel modes and 3-channel modes; software upgrades now produce gap-free 
playback under all conditions.)  A 10-frame pre-roll is required to allow the server time to access 
video data for playback. 
 
Uses for Extra Server Ports 
If a video port on the server is not designated for a purpose, there are several good uses it may be 
put to that take only a small amount of extra work and resources, and enhance overall system 
capability:  
 
A fully functional, wired, and running backup channel in the event of a problem on a video 
output. 
 
A preview channel for independent browsing/viewing of a clip. 
 
Concurrent Playback 
All clips on an Image Server can be accessed concurrently by multiple applications.  This means 
for example, that a clip can be played on multiple channels; may be played while recording; or 
may be transferred to another machine while playing.  This can also be done on multiple channels, 
allowing a single clip to play concurrently with several different offset times.
