The Channel Panel tool

A Channel Panel allows you to control one or more K2 system channels. A Channel Panel appears in the GV STRATUS application as a tool when you launch it from the Navigator panel.

Channel Panel features are as follows:

• Ganged channels — Operate multiple channels simultaneously. The background color of the gang group identifies the gang.
• Transport controls — Controls a channel or a channel gang and adds markers to the loaded clip. A gang's transport controls affect the operations of all the channels in the gang simultaneously. Individual channels in a gang have overlay transport controls that can control the channel independent of the gang.
• Tally indicator — Indicates current operational status by colors, as follows:
  • Red: Recording
  • Green: Playing
  • Orange: Cued. Media is loaded and ready to play.
  • Gray: Idle. No media loaded.
• Toolbar — Provides buttons for access to panel functions.
• Asset type icon — Appears when an asset is loaded and indicates the type of asset.
• Single channel — Operates one channel.
• Scrub bar slider — Finds scenes quickly within a clip or playlist.
• Show/Hide transport controls — Shows or hides transport controls on a channel or a gang.

You can open multiple Channel Panels and use them simultaneously to suit your workflow needs.
