Switcher
source that is currently visible on

*To grab an image from any
viewport
, simply move the mouse over the target viewport and click the
snapshot (camera) icon that is shown next to the source label immediately below the monitor.
* Requires the NewTek Streaming for AV-HLC100 plugin.

Clicking this gear, or double-clicking the viewport (above the label) opens the
Input Configuration
panel
for the corresponding
Switcher
input. We’ll cover configuring inputs in the next chapter.

In addition to features mentioned above, note that the viewport label shows an indicator when the
integrated
Proc Amp
is applied to modify the source’s color characteristics (Figure 40), and the
CLIPS
player
monitor displays a convenient timecode countdown.
