ADENA Hack: How to use loop through on AREC Media Stations.

Loop through is a feature of all LS and KL Media Stations. Essentially, it is a function that allows you to cycle through the video channels of your Media Station and select which to display locally. Loop through does not affect your recording and streaming layout – it is used primarily for the local audience.

There are different ways to toggle loop through. On all Media Stations, you can use the GUI to select your preferred loop through mode by clicking on the "display" button in the right corner of the GUI. On some models, there is also a physical button for it (it resembles a display). There are other ways too: for instance, you can toggle loop through via a USB numeric keypad or the RS-232/TCP/HTTP API commands.

When you press the loop through button, the station's loop through video output will cycle video channels in the following order:

1. Channel 1

2. Channel 2

3. Channel 3 (if the station has it)

4. Channel 4 (if the station has it)

5. All together

6. Mirror mode (shows the Recording and Streaming Layout without GUI)

Loop through is a very useful feature for hybrid events in particular. It allows users to simultaneously display any of the connected video sources for the local audience, while using a different recording and streaming layout for those joining online or watching the VOD later.
