ABOUT DEKO500 OPTIONS
Deko500 options currently available for purchase include:
Automation SportsWare
Chyron Import StillDeko
FastAction Keyboard
To see what software options are enabled on your
system:
From the Options menu, choose Enabled Options. A check mark
next to an option indicates that it is enabled on your system. The
FastAction Keyboard is a hardware option, not a software option,
so do not be concerned that it does not appear in this window.
AUTOMATION
The Automation option allows you to control Deko500 externally, in two ways:
By any external computer, using a serial input port. You can
use macro commands to input and output arbitrary bytes and
strings.
By a newsroom automation system, such as Basys, NewStar,
Comprompter, AP News Wire or DCM
This option also includes timecode control, which allows you to control
sequences via SMPTE timecode.
Note
The Automation option is not necessary to control Deko500
externally using Grass Valley Group protocols EMEM and
PEGS.
THE AUTOMATION WINDOW
To open the Automation window:
From the View menu, select Automation.
