The Platinum displays pictures in the event list as a reference.
Each note also has a picture reference.
A PAL or NTSC video feed is required for this. Normally this would be
the same feed that was driving the autoshot detector.
A serial digital 601 to PAL + NTSC encoder + autoshot is available from
Pandora for this purpose, if this is not already in the room.
This composite feed is grabbed into the standard VINO Indy analogue
composite video input or the analog video I/O option on the O2 machine.
When running with HiDef video then a down converter will be needed to
be able to grab composite images into the SGI.
The system will work perfectly in this configuration, however
additional features will be available when an external digital disk
recorder is connected to the Pogle Platinum.
A real-time video disk with a good Sony RS422 emulation is required. A
conventional still store is not suitable. Older disks like the A60 and
A64 are not suitable, as they do not allow easy switching between
record and playback.
Suitable disk recorders
Please contact us with specific model information, so that we can
verify correct operation.
The pictures from the disk are fed into the DCP reference wipe to allow
easy and fast picture matching.
Connect the disk to Pogle vtr port 4. If the disk is recognised then a disk icon will appear.
