9 DESKTOP MONITORS
The word “monitor” comes from the Latin “monēre”, meaning ‘to
warn’. The word has taken on additional meaning since Roman
times.
As a verb, “monitor” includes such connotations as ‘keeping an eye’
on something, and ‘checking continually’, as when monitoring a
process. As a noun, we understand it to mean devices that permit
one to do just that. 3Play™ provides ample monitoring features, as
described herein.
Fittingly, NewTek 3Play™ provides monitoring features that are just what you need to prepare
and control video replays in your productions.
Note: A number of important controls and features are located in the monitoring section for
convenience. Among others, these include the Source Connection Type, Proc Amp, Genlock, and
Audio controls. To give these features their due, they were treated individually in Chapter 7,
which is entitled I/O Configuration.
