A.9 VIRTUAL PTZ
Virtual PTZ , also referred to as “pan and scan”, is a
unique Switcher input feature applied to ‘standard’
video sources, i.e., those which are not actually
connected to physical PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) cameras.
Naturally, the latter (real PTZ cameras), when
connected and configured, show
Pan , Tilt , and Zoom
controls in their Input tab of the corresponding Input
Configuration panels.
The Virtual PTZ feature adds similar controls to all
Switcher sources (except M/Es, which already have
similar capabilities thanks to Comps ). This even
includes Media Players and Buffers .
Since the Virtual PTZ implementation includes Presets
and Speed controls, this means is that you can zoom
in/out and pan around within the frame supplied by
any source.
Of course this is a particularly attractive feature ion the
context of UHD video sources, but can also be used to
mimic the so-
called “Ken Burns effect” (a.k.a., ‘pan and scan’) when applied to imagery in Media Players
(Figure 356).
A.10 VIRTUAL SET LIBRARY
Your Premium Access membership also provides you with the use of the entire NewTek collection of
