6.4.5 INPUT 1, 2, 3
Figure 46
Three Input Source Monitors at upper-left show live video from video sources connected to
Inputs 1-3, providing full-time monitoring of live cameras -- even during Event or Delayed
playback. If a particular input is currently on the Main Output monitor, the corresponding Input
Source monitor is outlined in green.
NOTE: RECORD MUST BE ENABLED TO VIEW LIVE VIDEO, AND WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY
ENABLED IF NECESSARY. SEE SECTIONS 6.2.3 AND 6.2.7 FOR MORE DETAIL.
The input monitors do more than just provide visual feedback, though; they are also interactive.
Clicking on any of them will switch 3P
LAY immediately to LIVE playback mode. This will end Event
or Delayed playback if in progress, and will also enable Record if necessary.
If 3P LAY is operating in 1-Out mode (see Section 3.4.2), the stream represented by the monitor
clicked becomes the primary output.
VU meters beside each of the monitors provide the audio monitoring capability you need to adjust
input levels correctly (Section 6.4.2.2). These also serve to provide assurance of the integrity of
your audio connections during recording and transmission.
6.4.6 OUTPUT MONITORS
The Output section of the interface consists of one larger Main Output monitor window above 3
smaller ones. These monitors show what is displayed on 3P
LAY ’s video outputs at any given
moment, and also provide functions related to event marking, trimming, and even transport.
