Additional Features
- Custom Pixel Spaces: By default, the program pixel space conforms directly with the dimensions of the assigned output display, but you can also choose to extend that space and span across multiple displays.
- In-Sync Backup: Legion offers the easiest setup of a backup unit yet. Just have both computers share the same network assign one as the primary and other as the backup. Open each, click on one button, and now anything performed on the primary will be mimicked on the backup as well. This includes even the automatic transfer of media files from one machine to the other.
- Remote Command Listener: Open its UDP packet listener and Legion conforms perfectly with our AVP Connectionless Protocol enabling operation via any third-party device that can transmit custom ethernet command strings.
- Companion Compatible: Take advantage of the Elgato Stream Deck to remotely control any Legion playback product via the Bitfocus Companion host server. Just select the “IEW Solutions (aka ifelseWare) AV-Playback” module under “Add connection”.
- HyperDeck Emulation: Connect seamlessly with any Blackmagic ATEM switcher. When on the same network as the ATEM, you can than go into the switcher’s HyperDeck control panel, assign AVP’s IP address and the switcher will see it as if it were another available HyperDeck.
- LTC Timecode Generator: Built-in LTC timecode signal generator that can easily be assigned to output on any available audio port. This makes it very easy to distribute it to other devices that need to sync with program media.
- AVP Timecode Display: This convenient executable can be easily copied onto any computer, without the need for any invasive installation or license. The application, when active on a computer that is currently connected to the same network, will display position data from any enabled AVP node. This position data reflects the current running time of whatever is playing out to program.
