5.8 SELECTING THE CAMERA
Keep in mind that 3P LAY simultaneously records all three inputs, not just the stream shown on the
Main Output monitor (see Section 3.2, Recording, Marking and Events). This is true regardless of
whether you chose 1-Out or 3-Out as your Output Mode for the session (see Section 3.4.2).

In 1-Out mode, you personally choose which of the three available views is transmitted on 3P LAY ’s
output connections. The video stream displayed on the Main Output monitor is the one that
appears on output when in this mode.
Let’s examine the way you choose which stream appears on the Main Output monitor:
1. Press the LIVE button, sending one of the three live input streams to the Main Output
monitor (and beginning recording, if not already enabled).
2. Press ALT + Play on the 3P-10 to start the current event selection playing on output,
noting which Camera is marked in the corresponding column. Of the three available, that
is the stream initially sent to the Main Output monitor.
3. With event playback continuing, press different Camera buttons on 3P-10; the Main
Output stream updates (but the Camera setting for the event does not change).
4. Click directly on one of the Input Stream monitors – note that LIVE play is automatically
restored, and that the stream for the monitor you clicked is placed on the Main Output
monitor.
As we’ve seen, in addition to the 3P-10 Camera buttons, both Input and Output monitors are
interactive. Clicking on an Input Source monitor switches 3P
LAY immediately to LIVE playback
mode (if necessary) and places the corresponding stream on Main Output. Clicking an Output
Stream monitor behaves similarly, placing that stream onto the Main Output monitor.
