The key setting in the Video control group is Input Connection. This selection
determines which input connection will supply the Return video feed, and for SDI
connections, what the format is for that signal.
Note: It’s important to remember that the options listed in the Input Connection menu are limited
to PAL or NTSC format depending on the Output SDI Frame Rate setting discussed back in Section
3.8.2, Choosing PAL or NTSC Video Standards.
Also, be aware that while Skype TX does permit you to configure a true 60hZ output, doing so
also affects input clocking. AS NTSC video sources that run at 60hZ (as opposed to 59.94 hZ) are
exceedingly rare, this framerate option is not recommended. If you use it, most common
broadcast sources will not be recognized at TalkShow’s video Return input.
An interesting and valuable alternative source is available in studios that include
NewTek live production systems that can supply one (or more) a/v stream across a
network. NewTek systems, including *TriCaster and 3Play™systems, that are properly
connected (to the network) and configured to supply network output, will appear as
options in the Input Connection menu. *See note below.
Note that such network connections, being bi-directional, can supply both Call and
Return video (and audio) if desired, along with Tally (On Air) notification. Otherwise, if
you prefer, you can mix network
