Live Video Interface

The video interface is located under the Video tab in the main user interface area. The Live Video panel controls the current video format, and the two HDSDI live video inputs.

The Input Format drop down menu selects the video format and frame rate that the system expects to receive. Most common varieties of 720p and 1080p video are supported, including the 1080/23.976PsF progressive sequential frame format commonly used for digital cinema.

If the frame rate selected does not match the incoming serial data rates, the mismatch will cause tracking problems, and will be indicated by flashing red lights in the Tracking interface.

The HD-SDI 1 and HD-SDI 2 buttons control the 2 live HDSDI inputs to the system. When Input 1 is the main input that is sent to the keying and compositing pipeline, and must be enabled to start the live input system.

Input 2 requires Input 1 to be enabled before it will read live video.

If no video is present at the HDSDI inputs, the green light will not go on when HD-SDI 1 is enabled, and the output frame rate will stutter.
