specific pointers.
To create a subclip:
1. At a Command Workstation, open an item in the Media Viewer.
2. Click the Subclip button.
3. Give the subclip a name and click OK. It should appear in the Inventory panel shortly.

Configuring VDS for Harris
Like Omneon, there is a third-party plug-in that can be used for Command integration with a
Harris Nexio device. The Harris plug-in is distributed by the Harris Corporation; users
should contact the Harris Corporation for more information.

As with all third-party devices, users need to purchase a 3P device channel for each channel
that is going to be controlled by Command.
