Taking over a channel
While you are using a channel, another user can commandeer it. When this happens the channel says “in use” in the title bar of the clip and includes information on the current user, computer, and application.
- If you click on an application drop-down list in a channel that another user has assigned an application to, a pop-up message asks you to confirm that you want to take the channel over.
-
For example, if user1 has designated Channel 1 to run a Player
application on Control Point PC1, user2 can go into Channel 1 in his channel
suite on Control Point PC2 and select Recorder from the application drop-down
list. User2 will see this message:
‘Channel1:K2 system’ is currently used by ‘user1’ running ‘Player’ on ‘PC1’. Are you sure you want to eject this clip and launch a ‘Recorder’?
- Clicking Yes will allow the second user to begin the new application on this channel.
