Hotspots are configured in the configuration panels for individual inputs. Double-click the viewport for a
camera input to open this dialog, and click the LiveMatte tab. The lower portion of this tab contains the
Hotspots control group.
Note :All Hotspots for an individual source can be enabled or disabled using the switch in the group header, or
globally for all sources in a given session using the Options menu.
Hotspots are color-coded, and their respective colors are used
to draw the Hotspot overlay boxes on your viewports when the
Hotspot Markers overlay is enabled for a corresponding
monitor viewport.
Scale and Position buttons allow you to re-size and place the
‘trigger zone’ for each Hotspot accurately.
The Event button for each Hotspot, marked by a capital “E”,
opens the Event Triggers dialog. This is where you will assign
macros that are triggered when something moves into (On
Screen) or out of (Off Screen) the otherwise transparent area defined by that Hotspot.
Hint: Use the Overlay option Flip View Horizontal to let talent see exactly where their marks are on a Multiview
screen.
5.2.3 MEDIA PLAYER MACROS
Naturally, Media Players get automation support like other Switcher inputs, as described above. We didn’t
stop there, though. Every item in a playlist – each clip, still image, audio file or title page – has its very own
automation features.
 Any macro you can record or create can be executed automatically
on either playback or end of play for any and every individual
playlist item.
 Improved multi-selection support in the playlist
makes it a breeze to assign macros to multiple
items.
 Automatically show titles for certain types of
clips and not others.
o
Give them different title page types
o Use macros to selectively adjust Proc Amps
on a per-clip basis.
o Or enable LiveMatte keying automatically when needed for certain items.
