The Spot Server Management System is a compact, simple, fast and powerful controller for video servers. Clip names are clearly visible on 32 backlit LCD display equipped pushbuttons. Individual clips, fill & matte (key) clips, or multiple clips are loaded for playback on up to 8 server channels with a single button push. Playback is started by button push or GPI contact closure, and multiple channel rolls are always in perfect frame accurate synchronization. Play lists of trimmed clips (nondestructive edits) can be created and loaded for playback as easily as clips. Spot can operate stand alone, controlling a single server channel or can be combined with the RM-4000 Remote Processor to control up to 8 server channels and 2 VTRs. VTR support includes the ability to create and record new clips from videotape segments with frame accuracy. Also, clips and play lists can be laid off to videotape. A single RJ45 modular cable connects Spot to the RM-4000 or a cable adapter, keeping cable clutter off the console. Add the optional TCW window inserter to superimpose the loaded clip name and timecode on a video source. Countdown time until end of clip can be displayed instead of TC.
