This panel allows a user to group several Capture engines for ganged control during the capturing session (e.g. multi-cam scenario).

Note
Gang control is not supported in Capture Desktop Edition mode.

Add_gang

Press this button next to the "Active Engines group" field to create a new engines group. The following dialog box appears:

Add_engines_group

Enter a new group name into the "Name" text field and confirm creation of a new engines group by pressing the "OK" button.

To add the connected Capture engine to the active engines group, select the desired one on the engines panel and press the Add_template button in its caption or simply drag-and-drop the engine to the table within the Gang Control panel:

All Capture engines included in the active engines group are represented in a table view as it is shown below:

Gang_Control_panel

The table is divided into three columns displaying the name of the Capture engine, its active template and current status individually for each engine in the group.

The "Global Templates" field allows you to choose a global template which will be applied to all engines within the selected Gang group. To do this, select a required template from the drop-down list and press "Apply to All" button. "Wrong template" indication in the Status column indicates that the global template is not compatible with a video system of the corresponding engine, a valid template can be individually selected for the engine using the "Template" drop-down list:
