The 

Color

  tab provides an extensive set of tools for 

adjusting the color characteristics of each video 

channel. 

Choosing 

Auto Color

  automatically adapts color 

balance as lighting conditions change over time.  

Note: Proc Amp adjustments are applied after Auto 

Color processing. 

By default, each camera with 

Auto Color

  enabled is 

processed by itself.  Enable 

Multicam

  to process 

multiple cameras as a group. 

To apply 

Multicam

 processing to a source without its 

own colors being evaluated, checkmark 

Listen Only

.   

Or enable 

Listen Only

 for all 

Multicam

 group members 

except one to make that source the ‘master’ color 

reference. 

Note: Custom settings in the Color tab trigger a 

COLOR notification message that appears in the 

footer below the viewport of the channel (Figure 13)

FIRST LAUNCH & I/O CONFIGURATION 

The physical SDI connectors can be flexibly assigned as either inputs or inputs.  Alternative layouts for the 

connectors are available in the 

Configure Viz SDI I/O Connectors

 panel (Figure 14), which is normally shown 

on first launch, but which can also be selected to open on exiting the
