CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL This User's Guide is designed to assist users of AVL Eagle's PROCALL Version 5 software in understanding and using the new AVL Genesis PROCALL-5. If you are a new Genesis computer user., not familiar with the Eagle's PROCALL Version 5, use PROCALL-X software. This User 's Guide describes the additional and modified features of PROCALL-5. Also included is a listing of all valid command entries and instructions for creating, accessing, and restarting formats. 1.
b. Special characters and use of the space bar are not permitted In file names. c. SMPTE is now offered as a timing code in addition to Clock-Trak. d. A HELP feature is offered ,-' as a listing of PROCALL-5 Commands and their use. e. Scrolling has been enhanced for a faster viewing of cues. Paragraphs 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 describe SMPTE, HELP, and Scrolling, respectively. Pzsagraphs 1.6 through 1.10 clarify descriptions of Showtime, Escape, Freeze/Preset, Mag Tape Bypass, and Status Line Display. 1.
audio tape decks, and other electronic devices that interface with video, and was primarily designed to control film and video editing. It provides for: * Running Shows at speeds up to 30 frames per second. * Running shows using video decks as well as the multiimage computer system. * Running shows with all the components synchronized to one timing and control code. SMPTE is like A V L 1 s Clock-Trak in that it is a digital timing code which can be used to time cues.
1.4 HELP FEATURE Use of HELP provides a quick reference of commands. Included are Programming Commands, Editing Commands, Memory/Disk Data Transfer Commands, Mag Tape Control Commands, Editing, Print Commands, and X-15 Programming Commands. 7 To access HELP, at any point in the program, 'press the F1 key. To return to the program, press ESC. 1.5 SCROLLING . The GENESIS permits scrolling at a rate of 10 lines per second through the cues in memory in both forward and reverse directions.
FOR GOT0 will appear in the Status area indicating that scrolling has begun. A change of direction can be accomplished instantly as long as this message is displayed. The GENESIS does not attempt to update Projector Status while scrolling is taking place. As soon as scrolling is terminated the GENESIS will update the Projector Status area and then send out the cues necessary to bring the lamp status and projector tray position up to date. 1.
1.7 ESC (ESCAPE) While in the Control Command ,field, depressing the CONTROL and P keys (CTRL/P) will return you to the programming field. However, AVL recommends the ESC (ESCAPE) key be used to return to the programming field from the Control Command field, to reduce the possibility of confusion with the Projector Disconnect command. 1.8 FREEZE/PRESET DISPLAY To provide even more information to the user, current presets and freezes are displayed in the Status area.
1.9 ,1 MAG TAPE BYPASS This is the normal default mode of the GENESIS. Whenever Genesis PROCALL-5 is loaded into the GENESIS it will automatically come up in Mag Tape Bypass and a message announcing this will be displayed on the screen. If you decide to load a program which was saved on tape, the GENESIS will automatically switch modes and load the program into memory and then when the program is loaded it will revert to the Mag Tape Bypass mode.
1.10 STATUS LINE There Is now a line in the program heading for Status. In some versions of PROCALL this line is left blank, except for an occasional comment. Now this line is shared by the Status comments, e.g: RCF, POF, PIF, and so on.
CHAPTER 2 GENESIS PROCALL-5 COMMANDS GENERAL 2.1 This chapter lists and describes the Genesis commands valid under AVL's PROCALL-5 software. PROGRAMMING COMMANDS 2.2 The subparagraphs that follow describe the Programming Commands used with AVL Genesis PROCALL-5. -, 2.2.1 CT COMMANDS ENTERED UNDER THE CODE HEADING (CUT) cut turns the lamp ON or OFF quickly. If the lamp is already ON, this will turn the lamp OFF and initiate a tray advance. If the lamp is OFF, it will then be turned ON.
NOTE: A projector lamp does not turn on or off instantly with the application or removal of power. The lamp actually requires a fraction of a second to heat up or cool down. This is called the "thermal lag" of the lamp, and the lag is different for turning the lamp ON than it is for turning the lamp OFF. All AVL computerized dissolve controls automatically compensate for this effect. Cuts and Alternates employ an "After-burner Effect" which allows the lamp to reach full intensity.
to the next image and that projector is now ready to be turned ON again with the next slide. When HARD CUTS are used to make a transition between 2 visuals the change is much crisper than a CUT. This can be used to simulate the flicker of an old time movie when moving through many visuals rapidly. SC (SOFT CUT) A soft cut is a compromise between a cut and a one second dissolve. The projector with a down-going lamp will do a tray advance.
DISSOLVE ALTERNATES These commands are equivalent to the Dissolves above but the tray is not advanced for the down-going projector. Dissolve alternates are also entered in a designated amount of time in seconds. AT '7 (ALTERNATE or LT) An Alternate turn? the lamp ON or OFF with no tray advance. An ALT looks like a CUT on the screen. FA (FAST ALTERNATE) A Fast Alternate turns the lamp ON or OFF as fast as the lamp allows.
/--, you to continue the dissolve in the same direction at the same rate or change the rate. You are also permitted to change directions using the same rate or a different rate. Only dissolve alternates should be used with a FREEZE. BG (BLINK GO) A Blink Go is used to initiate BLINKING in DOVE D I S and X's. BS (BLINK STOP) A Blink Stop is BLINKING sequence.
NOTE: When HOME is part of a RUN sequence in the program, the program will assume it is to continue to run. The program will execute cue #1 and all subsequent cues in memory until it encounters a STOP command. LDxx (PROGRAMMABLE LOAD OF FILE xx) This cue automatically executes load from the disk into memory. When the LOAD FILE cue is executed in a RUN mode, the system will load the file xx. The program file system wdll then reset itself to cue number one and continue to run from that point.
LL (LOAD LOOP) ? Loop Load (LL) is used to instruct DOVE X's and D's to store a series of cues (ACTION CUES) in their memory as a routine that will be repeated. LS (LOOP STOP) Loop Stop (LS) will cause all LOOPS in progress on the designated DOVES to stop. N ? (NO OPERATION) This has no effect on the screen action. It equals a .1 second wait at 10 cues per second and a .05 second wait at 20 cues per second. N is also used as a convenient location for a RUN or STOP separate from any screen action.
PR (PROJECTOR REVERSE) This command functions the same as the PROJECTOR FORWARD command except that it will reverse the trays one position. PS (PRESET) This command Presets specific projectors to respond to the next action cue issued to the corresponding dissolve unit. This allows you to access projectors that do not have like projector assignments at the same time without the normal .1 or . 0 5 seconds between cues. Preset allows simultaneous action on the assigned preset projectors when cued.
RPX (REPEAT X) ? RPX allows you to let the AVL GENESIS determine the number of times the sequence has to repeat. It is used while you are in the RUN mode and actually viewing the sequence. Enter the RPX into the program and start the sequence running, when the desired number of repeats have taken place on the screen press the F10 (CUE) key to move on to the next part of your program. The AVL GENESIS will resolve the X to the number of times the sequence is repeated.
take place 24 times. The sequence will take place once and then be repeated 23 times. 7 Using Nested (consecutive RP) commands it is possible to create a sequence that has billions of cues. use nesting with extreme care. S10 (SPEED = 10 CUES PER SECOND) S10 is used to shift speed from 20 cues per second to 10 cues per second. The AVL GENESIS will automatically select 10 cues per second when the system is first LOADED, when you CLEAR ALL CUES from the Control Command mode, or when you perform a HOME.
subsequent cue is issued. At 2,0 cues per second the system will wait .05 seconds between cues. A Run Sequence is initiated by using a RUN command (stopped by a STOP command) or with the use of time cues from the Clock-trak or SMPTE. A RUN sequence will execute until it encounters a STOP or the next time cue. Run sequences are used to fire a series of cues rapidly with precise timing.
TBxx (TAB xx) This is a label which may be nested in the program to mark different sections of the show, where xx may be any two characters. TMxx r7 (TIME hh:mm:ss:ff) Time cues in .O1 second steps may be located in the program at any desired point. In this format "hh" is hours, 11 m ,,, 11 is minutes, "ss" is seconds and "ff" is hundredths of seconds. You do not have to enter unused fields.
- When PROCALL encounters a time cue while in the RUN mode, it will cause' the program to stop. PROCALL will then wait until the clock equals the value of the time cue and then put the program into the RUN mode again. TX (TIME X ) TX is used to mark the beginning of a timed (RUN) sequence using the Clocktrak or SMPTE. The X value is resolved when you press the F10 (CUE) key. W.05 thru W 1 0 T (WAIT TIMES) Waits are computer-generated timing links that .allow you to time out action sequences precisely.
WX (WAIT X) This cue is used when the proper timing of a sequence has not been determined WX cue is before programming. The resolved lo the nearest . 0 5 second when you are operating at 20 cues per second and to the nearest .1 second when you are operating at 10 cues per second. The WAIT X is resolved by pressing the F10 (CUE) key during the running of the particular section.
COMMANDS ENTERED UNDER THE SCREEN HEADING 2.2.2 ,- The GO command is used in the screen area of the display line to designate one of the following: S 1. To mark the beginning of a REPEAT sequence. 2. To initiate a RUN sequence. 3. As a reference point. (STOP) A stop command is used in the screen area of the display line to designate one of the following: 1. To mark the end of a RUN sequence. 2. To stop the screen action when using Clock-trak or SMPTE.
P (PROCEED) When running 20 cues per second, this i s a 1/40th second link between two cues referencing different Banks. Its purpose is to approximate being able to make two separate cues happen at the same time. For example: AT 2D ALT 2 SEC DIS 1234 P SCREEN NUMBERS Possible screen numbers on OUT 1 (BANK A) and OUT 2 (BANK B) are 123456789. PROJECTOR NAMES ABC Projector names A,B, and C. LCR Projector names left, center, and right. TCB Projector names top, center, and bottom.
2.2.3 COMMANDS FOR EDITING PROGRAMS /7 Editing is a very important part of programming. The commands described below will assist you in editing your program quickly and easily. Certain keys have dual functions and some keys are used in conjunction with the Ctrl key. For purposes 'of notation, to indicate that two keys are to be pressed simultaneously, a slash (1) is inserted between the names of the keys, e.g: CTRL/A.
CTRL/D (DELETE CUE) This will delete (remove) the cue that is being previewed and will close up the memory. CTRL/F '7 (FILM DISCONNECT/NORMAL) This command disconnects or disables any film relayed cues from going out of the system. CTRL/G, ENTER (HOME PROJECTORS) This will issue a HOME cue to the attached dissolve units and return the program to CUE #l. The lamps will come down and the trays will move to their original starting position via the shortest route.
in memory. Same as typing GOTOxx in ('7 Control Command field CTRL/G,T,M (GOT0 TIME HH:MM:SS:FF) This will issue a command to GOT0 the desired time cue. If there is no time cue equal to the entered value, the system will go to the next time cue greater than the desired cue. Same as typing GOT0 TIME in the Control Command fi.eld. CTRL/K (REVERSE TO PREVIOUS GO) This will issue a command last GO cue issued.
cues per second each time the Q is depressed while holding down the CTRL key at 10 cues per second. CTRL/R 7 (REPEAT PREVIOUS CUE) This repeats the previous cue each time the CTRL and the R keys are depressed simultaneously. Cues may be repeated rapidly by depressing the CTRL/R keys and holding them down. The AVL Genesis will sense any key held down for longer than a second and repeat it. CTRL/S (STANDBY) This will bring down the lamps of all projectors.
CTRL/U (Change Mode) /7 This command will allow the user to change assignments to different locations while creating a screen format. CTRL/X (AUX DISCONNECT/NORMAL) This disconnects or disables auxiliary cues from going out of the AVL GENESIS system. ~ a m e ' a styping AD or AN in the Control Command field. CUE ( F l O key) The CUE key commands the AVL GENESIS to execute a cue or run a sequence from memory.
REVERSE CUE (F9 key) When depressed, this key program (memory) in direction as follows: move the reverse 1. One cue if you are not in a RUN condition. 2. To the previous GO if in a RUN mode. 3. To the previous TIME cue if using Clock-trak or SMPTE, provided that there is not an intervening GO command. 4. To the previous LL command if it is in a Loop mode. RETURN . will the 7 '7 (Return or ENTER key) Depressing the RETURN key will enter the cue into the memory of the AVL GENESIS .
ESC (ESCAPE) 7 . This allows you to ESCAPE (stop) any action that is being carried out by the AVL GENESIS. ESCAPE will turn off the MAG TAPE INPUT and cause the system to ignore Clock-trak, SMPTE, or data information. Pressing any key (AVL recommends you use the space bar) will turn the MAG TAPE INPUT back on. T h e . ESC key also returns you to the programming mode from the Control Command mode.
2.3 CONTROL COMMAND FIELD ENTRIES t '- The subparagraphs that follow describe the valid Control Command Field entries. 2.3.1 EDITING CONTROL COMMANDS BPF Enter (BEEPER OFF) This command BEEPER OFF. BPN Enter allows you turn the (BEEPER ON) This command turns the normally ON. CAC Enter to BEEPER back to (CLEAR ALL CUES) This command clears all cues from the memory. A HOME command is also issued to the dissolve units.
CUES (DISPLAY TOTAL CUES) T This displays the total cue storage capability of the memory and the amount of cues remaining. Subtracting the two will give you the total cues used in the program. ESNx,y (EXCHANGE SCREEN NUMBERS) The ESN command exchanges the screen numbers of your program. ESN entered as: ESN xx,yy will take all cues on screens x,x and change them so they are now on screens y,y.
(ESTABLISH NEW HOME POINT) NEW I ' This tells the system that you want to use the current projector status as the home reference point. This is done automatically with the cue of programmable loads. NOTES (EXAMINE AND EDIT NOTES) This blanks the display and allows the entry of up to 11 lines of 4 5 characters each. A NOTE can store information such as special set up instructions for a show. PA (PROJECTOR ASSIGNMENT) This allows you to determine how the projectors will be assigned (ABC, LCR, or TCB).
RCN (REMOTE CUE ON) ? This will return the remote back to its normal ON state. RTCx.y cue jack (REPLACE TIME CUES WITH TX) This command will replace all TIME cues with TIME X cues beginning with the first cue specified (x) and continuing until the last cue specified (y) has been examined. SEQ2 -,. (PROJECTOR SEQUENCE 2) This allows you to sequence between two of the three'available projectors ( A and C) NOTE: You can still access the "B" projector independently.
search for time cues to be modified and continue until the last cue specified (y) has been examined and changed. TPOx '7 (TRAY POSITION OFFSET x) This will set a starting tray for the position status. You any (x) number from 0 to 80. XSN x , y position can use (EXPAND SCREEN NUMBERS) ,This command allows you to expand the screen numbers of the cues on a paticular screen to any or all of the other screens.
2.3.2 T 1 AVL MEMORY/DISK DATA TRANSFER COMMANDS (CLOCK-TRAK) This command turns AVL's Clock-trak ON and causes the SMPTE indicator ' to disappear from the display line. Clocktrak is the default timing and control code for AVL GENESIS. APxx (APPEND FILE xx) This allows you to add a file named xx, from the disk to the end of the program in the memory of the AVL GENESIS. The long form "APPEND xx" is the same. CNPxx (CLEAR NAME PROTECT xx) This command allows a be renamed.
DLC xx,yy (DELETE CUES FROM xx to yy) This command allows you to delete portions of your program from cues xx to yy inclusive. DSK 7 (DISK DRIVE INDICATION) (For AVL Genesis Only)) Typing DSKA instructs AVL GENESIS to use the A (left) drive. Likewise DSKB instructs for the use of the B (right) drive. INSxx (INSERT FILE NAMED xx) This command allows you to insert a program named xx between cues already in the memory of the AVL Genesis. The insertion takes place at the location of the cursor.
'7 any key, except the ESC or F10 (CUE) keys, to see the next line of entries. If you would like to start over agaiwat the top of the list, push the REVERSE CUE (F9) key If you do not wish to see any more entries, push the ESC key. NLDxx (NOTES LOAD xx) This will load a NOTE file into the NOTE buffer in the the AVL Genesis. NPRxx - titled memory (NAME PROTECT xx) This will protect a file named being accidently renamed.
the file is not name protected. long form RENAME x, y. SV Same as (SAVE) This will save the program in memory on the disk with the program name on the monitor as the file name. The long form "SAVEttis the same. SVxx (SAVE CUES xx) This command will save the program in memory on the disk with xx assigned as the file name; xx may be up to 8 characters in length. Same as SAVE xx. SCxx.yy.
2.3.3 MAGNETIC TAPE CONTROL COMMANDS /7 CEM (CLOCK EDIT MODE) Allows the GENESIS to read Clock-trak or SMPTE off magnetic tape and synchronize the program in memory. If the tape data stops, the program will stop 0.5 seconds after the data stops. As soon as the Clock-trak or SMPTE input begins again, the system will execute a GOT0 to be ready for the next section. CIM , , (CLOCK INPUT MODE) This command will put the system into CLOCK INPUT MODE.
run on its own internal clock timer if the input from the Clock-trak or SMPTE on tape stops. The AVL GENESIS will display a message warning you that the input from tape has stopped. 7 Once a TIME or TIME X cue has been executed, the AVL GENESIS will stay in perfect sync with the time recorded on the tape. The system will automatically a GOTO, if necessary, to execute continue tracking with the Clock-trak or SMPTE from tape.
MIF (MAGNETIC TAPE INPUT OFF) T This will turn OFF any magnetic tape input and the AVL Genesis will ignore any data input into the PLAY IN jack. MIN (MAGNETIC TAPE INPUT ON) This turns the magnetic tape input (PLAY IN) back ON. MLD (MAGNETIC TAPE LOAD) This allows you to load a program into the memory of the AVL GENESIS from any tape'or directly from an AVL GENESIS or one of AVLts other programs.
MSV (MAGNETIC TAPE SAVE). This feature allows you to dump the contents of the memory of the AVL GENESIS on to magnetic tape in the same fashion as saving the memory contents onto the disk. In dumping a program using both banks of projectors, simply connect the tape recorder to Outl. Both banks are recorded simultaneously through Outl. Therefore, it is possible to load a 30 projector show. PIF '-7 (POSI-TRAK INPUT OFF) This tells the AVL GENESIS to disregard any POSI-TRAK being received.
- STL (SET LEVELS) This command tells the AVL GENESIS to generate a continuous test done from the RECORD OUT RCA jack on the rear panel to enable you to adjust the record level of your tape recorder. (Adjust for 0 VU). VER (VERIFY (MSV ONLY)) This command allows you to verify accuracy of the information that been saved on magnetic tape before clear the program from memory.
2.2 PRINT COMMANDS The following print commands and parameters are Control Command entries. print Field '-7 NOTE: SPD, PLP, or SLP must be specified BEFORE the commands PLB or PRINT are used. If not AVL Genesis will automatically select: SPD 300, NPB, and SLP. PRINT This command prints Program Name, Operator Name, and Cue information on an external printer. PLB -7 (PRINT LIBRARY) This command will print all directory information on an external printer.
NPB (NO PRINTER BUSY) T This command tells AVL GENESIS not to bother to look for a busy signal. This also is the default condition if no other busy commands are given to the AVL GENESIS. PLP , This command will direct all print operations to the parallel printer on port B. Check your printer specifications to determine the type of input it accepts.
2.5 COMMANDS FOR PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT X-15 PROGRAMMING COMMANDS 2.5.1 7 NOTES : XS 1. The GENESIS allows you to use two X-15s in line with your dissolve units (one each on OUT1 & OUT2) and a3lows you to use both the X-15 and dissolve auxiliaries with their respective commands. 2. All auxiliary cues must specify screen and projector independents. 3. You can NOT have an auxiliary command for the XI5 and an auxiliary in your dissolve unit in the same cue.
XL (LONG PULSE) n This will cause a momentary (.5 seconds) closure of the contacts. This is used for equipment that requires a longer contact closure. XN - (LATCH ON) This will keep the selected channels closed until interrupted by a new command. This permits the relays to be used as either normally open or normally closed. The new command can be an XS or XL, which will cause the contact to open momentarily and then close again.
2.5.2 RAVEN PROGRAMMING COMMANDS 7 FFxx (FILM FORWARD) This command advances frames per second. . FRxx film foward at xx (FILM REVERSE) This command reverses frames per second. the film at xx NOTE: FF (Film Forward) and FR (Film Reverse) can run speeds of 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,18 and 24 FPS (Frames per Second). FFS (FORWARD FRAME STEP) This command steps the frame at a time. FRS (REVERSE FRAME STEP) This command steps the one frame at a time.
- FB=(xxxxx) (FILM BEGIN) This command assigns the frame number at which you want to begin. FE=(xxxxx) (FILM END) This command assigns the frame number at which you want to end. NOTE: FB and FE are double cues. The first cue assigns the code and selected projector and the second cue assigns the frame number at which you want to begin or end. -\ FTN (FILM TRACKING ON) This command turns on the film tracking. FTF (FILM TRACKING OFF) This command turns fi1.m tracking off.
FO (FILM SPEED NORMAL) This command returns the normal. MN (MOTOR ON) MF (MOTOR OFF) LN (LAMP ON) LF (LAMP OFF) 2.5.3 film speed to RAVEN EDITING COMMAND AF(x) (ASSIGN FILM PROJECTORS) All Film Projector Screen assignments must be entered by this control command before ANY film type cues can be executed. FS(x)+ (FILM FORWARD ONE FRAME) This command will advance the (x) film projector one frame.
FOCx,y,+/-(x) (FRAME OFFSET CUES + OR -) ' 7 This command allows you to add or subtract a frame value (x) from either a range (x,y) of cues or from all cues in your program.
