Preview Overlay
This feature makes it possible to present various types of useful information onto the main
preview matrix output. This information is color-coded, and can be positioned and
resized according to user preferences. There are eight buttons in the Preview Overlay area
of the switcher panel to control and display the following types of information:
Source Identification
Source ID displays the name of the current background video, current preset video, and
transition type. When the
S35MDX-905: Routing Switcher Interface
option is installed,
router source names are displayed in addition to switcher source names.
VTR Time Code
If a VTR, disk recorder, video server, or other device using a time code is the current
background of your main preview output, its current time code will be displayed
(e.g., 12:59:59:23). The device’s remote port must be connected to the switcher, and option
S35MDX-901: VTR Remote Control
and/or Option
S35MDX-903: Video Server
Control
must also be purchased.
Configurable Safe Title, Safe Area, and Center Cross Hairs
This places a SMPTE standard safe title, safe area, and center indication over the main
preview output, all of which can then be adapted to fit your specific application. This is
great for ensuring a clean 4:3 extraction from a 16:9 shot and talent and graphic
positioning.
