Machine Control

The Machine Control Program provides direct, on-screen control for any connected device, via mouse-driven input or an optional touch-screen control system.

The MCP allows the user to manually control devices, and make small clip lists. It also has a frame accurate jog feature. It can switch between devices with the touch of a button. It displays clip information when available, such as name, duration and encoding rate. The MCP is a useful tool when building schedules, because clip sequences can be tested for continuity without having to generate an entire schedule.
