FIGURE 18 (TC2 ELITE SHOWN)
Initially, as you have yet to configure input devices or add content, the Live Desktop will look a bit barren
(Figure 18). Take a quick look around, b ut then let’s continue to configure your devices. (We had a
brief glimpse at the Live Desktop back in 2.1.3 , but we’ll examine it further in Chapter 4, Web Features,
coming up soon.)
SECTION 3.10
CONFIGURE A/V OUTPUT
3.10.1 PRIMARY OUTPUTS
Complete video monitoring is provided right on the Live Desktop in a multiview occupying the upper section
of the screen. This lets you operate without even connecting downstream video monitors or devices. (For
facilities using NDI-enabled broadcast devices and systems, there would be no necessity to bother with
any
traditional connections.)
Often, though, you will want to connect external monitors or other downstream devices to the SDI OUT
connectors of the unit. (see Section 3.7). In either case, you will be faced with decisions about the output
formats, and audio and video sources provided to downstream systems.
The primary ‘mixed’ a/v outputs offer connection options as depicted in the following tables.
