Secret Agent Board

I've posted something similar before,

But can we have a toggle on the RVI or on the console that allows the board op to control the displays?  Also, the tombstone display on the RVI displays less information than on the console, especially only displaying a C instead of a color pallete (even when all color attributes are at the pallete) in tombstone view.  Also, my movers have their FCB in landscape, instead of portrait like on the console, which means I don't think those could display more than just an F C or B either.

Basically I want the screens to update to what the board op is doing.  If my board op hits effect, an efect list comes up, but if he switches back to live I have to hit Blind then Live on the rvi to get the cuelist back.  The same goes for the CIA, the board op should be able to show or hide the CIA on the RVI from the console.

There are other things that I've run into that the RVI won't tell you, but they're slipping my mind at the present.

 The independant control is great for assistants, but the LD needs to know whats going on!

  • Hi David.  1.4 will support mirror functions for the RVI.   There will be two buttons on the front of the RVI (Mirror 1 and Mirror 2).  The person at the RVI will need to call the Mirror mode.  Once in that mode, the displays will change as the programmer's do, and will be in exactly the same format as the programmers

    Right now, on the RVI, you have two options (these options will be maintained even after Mirror mode is supported).  
    If you set the RVI up as a different user than your programmer, the RVI is completely independent.  It can be in whatever mode you need it to be in.
    If you set the RVI up as the same user as your programmer, as the programmer changes modes, the RVI changes modes as well.  However, the display formats are maintained.  This allows the design to follow the programmer, but have his displays in whatever format and flexichannel mode work best for him.   So, right now, it sounds like you need to expand the view on the RVI to support the expanded summary mode (params/focus).

    Right now, the user ID is setup in the shell.  1.3 adds the ability to set it from Setup, so you don't have to close the app.

    Does this make sense?

  • The mirror mode question came up during tech today. I was forced to use the laptop+dongle setup for my tech table displays (versus the admittedly old-fashioned, but exactly what designers want, setup of just sticking a VGA splitter on the back of the console), and my designer was frustrated by my programmer not being able to show him Blind > Spreadsheet. I know he can change the format on the client software, but he really just prefers to call for a display, and not having to go looking around for buttons, etc.

     What I'm wondering is this - Anne has said that the RVI hardware will include mirror mode buttons. Will this be included in the client software as well, so that video guys

  • Hi there..... we are changing this a bit in 1.4.  In that build, all control surfaces with the same User ID will share display formats.  So, even from a client software PC, you will be in mirror mode.  

    That should help!
