Cage Section
The Cage function in the Picture tile enables the Safe Action and Safe Title cages that are setup in the
“Configuration” tab
Two sets of cages can be defined, allowing you to
readily judge the positioning of any action and any
titles on a choice of screen geometries.
For example, by setting up one set of cages for a
16:9 screen display and the other for a 4:3 screen
display you will be able to simultaneously assess
the positioning of any action and any titles on
these two screen formats.
Overall control over the display of the cages is given by the
Cage
function within the
Picture
control
panel which allows the display of cages to be turned On (1) or Off (0).
The dimensions and positioning of the two Safe action and the two Safe title cages are individually
defined in the “Cage” section of the
Configuration
-
Video
menu. The four cages are also individually
enabled, allowing you to select precisely which cages are displayed.
For both types of cage, you are offered a choice of using for a standard cage definition or a ‘Variable’
one.
The standard cage mode selects the cage dimensions defined for different screen sizes by four
major Standards authorities: SMPTE, the EBU, the ITU and ARIB
The ‘Variable’ cage mode allow you to specify the dimensions you require. Opting for a ‘Variable’
safe title cage also allows you to choose where this cage is positioned.
Both types of cage can be marked out using either a solid line or a dashed line. This can be used to
distinguish either between Safe Action and Safe Title cages or between the two sets of Safe Action and
Safe Title cages.
The cages are defined on the Video page of the
Configuration window, which includes a Cage
section, shown in ‘closed-up’ form here.
The principal elements of this display are as
follows:
