Transmission of more than 8 languages

FAB Subtitler BCAST/XCD can transmit up to 8 languages in a single instance. Multiple instances of FAB Subtitler have to be running simultaneously to transmit more than 8 languages. Every instance has to use its own unique configuration profile. Only the first instance will receive the automation ID and the timecode from their respective source. Additional instances of FAB Subtitler BCAST/XCD will receive the automation ID and the timecode from the first instance.

The first instance will support up to 8 languages and shall be started with the following command line parameters (the name channel1 can be changed to any other name):

/profile=channel1 /master=channel1

For every additional 8 languages a new instance has to be started with the following command line parameters:

/profile=channel1-2 /slave=channel1

The parameter /slave must use the same name as the parameter /master in the first instance. Make sure to specify a different profile name for every instance because every instance must use a different configuration profile.
