System modes

The selections made for Floating Output and Single Input in the Studio Devices tab of the Configuration Panel will determine what mode the multiCAM AIR BRIDGE system will operate in.

Single-production mode

Single input: When this option is selected, the system will operate in SINGLE PRODUCTION MODE. This will identify the audio and video ports that will be used for a common return feed to all of the guests. Automatic Mix-Minus will be engaged, locally creating unique mix-minus audio feeds for each of the guests. All Guest Inputs will be set to disabled.

Multi-production mode

If Single input is set to Disabled, the system will operate in MULTI-PRODUCTION MODE. This mode will switch off automatic Mix-Minus, and let you configure each guest channel independently, with their own audio/video inputs and outputs. (these options are set on the GUEST INPUTS and GUEST OUTPUTS tabs.)

Floating output mode

Floating output: When this option is selected, the system will switch to FLOATING MODE. In this mode, a single output port will be used to send out the video of one of the connected guests selected by the operator. multiCAM AIR BRIDGE will disable all of the individual guest audio and video outputs, and the multiCam AIR BRIDGE interface will show a new button in each guest channel to let the operator dynamically select which guest’s signal is being sent out the specified floating output port. The FLOATING OUTPUT can have its resolution set to match the requirements of the production.
