DL-2 preview

Hi,
just wondering is it possible to preview content on a DL-2 and if so how you would do that.
just to clarify if i wanted to preview content in a show situation so i know what the next image/video etc would be.
I have read the other post's and understand that you can preview the camera,and you can use the onboard LCD screen to preview the thumbnail's of content and you can also see content in the CMA application but i'm talking about about "on the fly" situation where if for instance an LD asked to have a look at the next cue before it became active.

Hope this makes sense

    The best method is probably to have an extra Axon media server at FOH. The Axon runs the same software as the DL.2 and is treated in the same manner by the console (minus a set of fixture control channels).

    Before you say anything...this is definitely an additional cost for the production. How much of a cost will vary per vendor, and the impact on overall budget would vary based on the size of the show.

    Another added benefit of carrying a FOH server like this, is that it gives you the ability to feed your video content to other display mediums such as video walls, in-house plasmas or projectors, and recording trucks (during that inevitable last-minute video shoot).

    Otherwise, the CMA client is probably your best method. But, currently, you can only browse media in the manner your familiar with. There is no way for it to give you a 'Next Cue Heads-Up Display' of any sort.

    Of course, your LD wanting to see a cue before it comes up on the console has its own issues as well...

    ...but I think that may be worth its own thread.

    Good Luck and Happy Programming!
