Figure 21 highlights two tabs labeled OUTPUTS 1-4 and 5-8 , located at right just above the main Switcher .
Clicking a tab reveals one of two specialized crosspoint panels, which appear in the same place that M/E and
PREVIZ modules are normally shown (Figure 22).
FIGURE 22
You would not be wrong to think of these panels and their associated NDI outputs as integrated Output Matrix
Routers , in that their features are very similar to those normally provided by an external SDI matrix router .
FIGURE 23
We’ll discuss advanced aspects of these internal Output Matrix Routers later (Chapter 15). At this point, when
discussing configuring your system, let’s simply note that you can assign many different sources to each of
the 8 supplemental NDI outputs in these panes – so much so that the source option buttons occupy three
banks of optional sources, similar to the Switcher source rows.
SECTION 3.11
CONFIGURE VIDEO INPUTS
Source selection settings for video inputs can be accessed in the Live Desktop ’s monitoring section, so let’s
spend a few moments there before continuing.
The individual monitor viewports on the Live Desktop can be flexibly assigned to different Switcher sources
and outputs. Complete monitor layouts can be stored and recalled using tools located in the Workspace menu,
located in the Dashboard across the top of the screen.
We’ll look into this in depth in the Reference Section of this manual, but f or now let’s configure the video
sources you connected earlier (Section 3.5.1).
1. Click Workspace in the Dashboard (at the top of the Live Desktop ).
