Loop Mode

Specifies how audio files and animation clips are played. Select from the
drop-down list box one of the following:

Loop

: Plays the audio file for its entire length then loops back to the

beginning and plays it again. This is repeated until playback is stopped
by removing the source from air.

Play Once

: Plays the audio file through one time and ends playback

when the end of the file is reached.

Horizontal Position (%)

This column designates the default horizontal position on the screen for the
upper left corner of the branding element, which is expressed as a per-
centage of the screen width. The horizontal position can be changed man-
ually once the branding element is assigned to a keyer.

Vertical Position (%)

This column designates the default vertical position on the screen for the
upper left corner of the branding element, which is expressed as a per-
centage of the screen height. The vertical position can be changed manually
or through automation once the branding element is assigned to a video
keyer.

Note

These changes will be stored in the Source Memory.

Opacity (%)

This column designates how obscure or unclear the branding element is
displayed, which is expressed as a percentage. Fully transparent is 0%
opacity. Completely “solid” is 100% opacity. The opacity can be changed
manually once the branding element is assigned to a video keyer.

Note

Any changes made to the default position and opacity will be saved in source
memory. Any time the source is assigned and active, it will have the position
and opacity values as defined in source memory.

Audio Ratio

This column designates the default audio mix over ratio when an audio
element is assigned to an audio over mixer. For example, if 12 dB is selected
as the default, Program audio level will be reduced by 12 dB and Branding
audio will be inserted at normal playback level. The range is 0 db to 24 db
and +Inf dB.

Note

If the value “+Inf dB” is selected, the Program audio level will be fully atten-
uated.
