FilmCache

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.
