The similar button beneath the

Preview

row is even more useful; it adds the replay clip to the

DDR

, and leaves

it selected, but does not play it on

Program

Out

immediately. When you are ready to insert the replay clip

into your program, press the keyboard

CTRL

key and the

Spacebar

. This will trigger the

Show On

(PGM)

feature for the DDR currently assigned to replay duties. This workflow lets you defer replay playback until
a more appropriate moment.

20.2.3

MIXED OUTPUT

Since outputs do not appear on the

Switcher

rows, the methods above do not apply. Instead, simply press a

number pad key from 1-4 to trigger an instant replay from the corresponding output (Mix 1-4) recorder.

Hint: It’s possible to assign an NDI output from the system to one of its own inputs if y

ou prefer to use the same

method as described earlier for your output replays.

SECTION 20.3

GRAB

At times, all you really want to capture is a still image from the current

Program Output

video stream (or

perhaps, an input). This is the purpose of the

Grab

function.

Grab is represented by a large button

in the

Dashboard

at the top of the screen, and smaller grab (camera)

icons which appear at upper-right on

Switcher

source viewports. The former grabs stills from MIX outputs

(when enabled individually), while the latter grabs an image from specific

Switcher

sources.

those described above for recording.

-frame motion in fielded

sessions.
