Abstract
A method of synchronizing a plurality of interactive display devices operating in accordance with a shared multi-step video production workflow, and in communication with a video capture device includes assigning a subset of the interactive display devices to a critical device group, with each such interactive display device being adapted to control operating parameters of the capture device. The method determines that each interactive display device in the critical device group has entered a recording step in the workflow and, in response enables a recording function of the video capture device to be activated by at least one of the video capture device and one of the interactive display devices in the critical device group. The method disables at least one user interface control in each of the plurality of interactive display devices in response to an activation of the recording function until the recording function is deactivated.
