Video Satellite LE Operation
DAE Errors
By default, the two linked systems will continue
to operate if one of the systems experiences an
error and its transport stops.
The administrator system can be configured to
stop playback if a DAE error occurs on the Video
Satellite LE system, or any other Satellite Link
satellite.

transport on both systems when an error occurs:

lected in the Synchronization Preferences page.
Modal Dialogs
Linked systems will stop playback if a modal di-
alog box (such as the I/O Setup, Hardware Setup,
or Playback Engine dialog) is opened on any
linked system.
.
If the administrator system is configured to
Transmit Play Selections, those selections
will be transmitted to the Video Satellite LE
system. However, selections made on the
Video Satellite LE system will not be trans-
mitted to the administrator system.
If one of the systems encounters a DAE er-
ror, its satellite link button will light up red
in the transport window on the other sys-
tem. Hold the mouse pointer over the button
to view the error, if necessary.
A system cannot play back when a modal
dialog box is open.
