Clip Player

Overview

The clip player is a function for recalling and playing

video content.

To use the clip player function, the MZS-X1800 Clip

Player License is required for each target box.

Areas Used by Clip Player

Two areas are used by clip players.

Clip player work area: An area for working with content.

When the system is powered off, the content in the

clip player work area will be lost.

Content storage: Area for saving content.

When used for clip player operations, the target

content is loaded into the clip player work area.

Length of content resources that can be

stored

The length (video duration) of content resources that can

be stored in the clip player work area varies depending on

the content bit rate. The maximum length for a single

content resource is 1 hour, regardless of the bit rate.

Clip Player Outputs

The clip player outputs are the four channels Clip 1 to

Clip 4. You can recall and play content on each clip player

output channel. By assigning Clip 1 to Clip 4 to cross-

point buttons, you can use the outputs of the clip player as

input content.

•

Clip players operate on a box-by-box basis. When the

system signal format is 2160P, only two channels

comprising Clip 1 and Clip 2 can be used. The same

channels are linked and operate together, even though

the boxes are different.

•

When content is loaded, it is loaded into the clip player

of all boxes in the switchers.

Group mode (combine channels)

When group mode is enabled on consecutive odd-

numbered and even-numbered clip player output

channels, the two channels are combined.

Clip player operations control the combined clip player

output channels.

When combined content is selected, content 1 and content

2 of the combined content are recalled on the two

combined clip player output channels, respectively.

Clip Player Content

The clip player plays video content.

Content is managed using the Home > Content menu.

For details, see “Chapter 20

Content Management”
