The Frame Rate setting is a default; it is displayed whether the Video device service (VDS) is
using the default VDCP mode or using a plug-in. It will be displayed in the Omneon VDS
plug-in configuration, but is not used because VDS gets the frame rate from the player to
which it is connected.
9. Set timeout in seconds for cue, start (play), pause, and eject.
10. Transfer Status is a feature that only works with Interplay. It connects to the Interplay
Transfer Manager to monitor status. Select the check box only if this is the case with
your system. For more information, see “Transfer Status Icon” on page 58.
11. Enter the machine name or IP address of the Omneon’s Media Director. This
information is obtainable via the Omneon System Manager software.
12. Leave the Clip Directory field blank to accept the default or enter another pathname for
the directory that will hold all of the media clips. An example of the clip directory is:
/OMN/clip.dir .
13. Omneon usually stores clip information in MOV or MXF formats. The extension for the
default format is
.mov.mxf so that either format is recognized.
14. Edit and add channel indices accordingly:
- The first channel index will appear automatically with the player information filled
in, but it can be modified as needed. The channel index values must match the
channel index value when you add the device channel in Command. Command is
case sensitive, so the case must match exactly.
