20.2.1
INSTANT AND DEFERRED REPLAYS
The method of triggering a replay varies depending on whether your want to replay a clip captured from a
Mix (output) or directly from a Switcher input.
20.2.2
SWITCHER SOURCE
When the Record and Replay switches in the Capture
control group for a Switcher source are both enabled,
special replay controls are shown beneath its buttons
on the
Program and Preview rows of the Switcher
(Figure 246).
Click the replay button beneath the Program row to
trigger an instant replay using the DDR’s Show On
(PGM) feature and settings. (Or hold down CTRL and
click the larger Switcher button itself to do the same
thing.)
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 you 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.
