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.
Note: De-Interla

sessions.
