You can change several channel related output options by clicking on the sprocket next to the "Output Format" column in the "Channel View", which opens the advanced format options window. |
Live SDI input with default output: Activate this checkbox to turn on the "live pass-through" mode for the engines connected to this channel. Once activated, it is possible to define the default output to be "Black" or "Live Source". In case fill+key should be send to a production mixer, this checkbox must be activated also.
This function is not compatible with the "Closed Caption" option and must therefore be turned of when using the CC option. |
Anti-aliased rendering: Anti-aliasing tries to counteract the jagged appearance of polygon edges. Enabling this function can have a considerable impact on the rendering performance of old or low-end GPUs. If you wish to use anti-aliasing, evaluate thoroughly if your system configuration is able to provide the required rendering capabilities.
SMPTE Color Correction: This settings allows you to handle the difference between the full color space (0–255) and the SMPTE color space (16–235).
Graphic engines: Selects the rendering engine:
Low Latency Playout (just:live only): Enable this option for the lowest latency between pressing the "Play" button and the actual playout of a movie. Deactivate this option when using MXF files or movies which are taking some time to decompress like XDCam or H.264. This option is only valid for just:live.
Interlaced Aware Scaling: When activated, any movie which has to be scaled (SD-HD, aspect ratio conversion) will have additional interlaced-aware filtering applied to it in order to preserve the interlace fields and to improve the quality of the scaled movie.
Aspect Ratio Control: Here you can define how differences of the aspect ratio should be handled. This preset can be overwritten for each movie in the inspector of just:live/just:play. In addition it is possible to change the aspect ratio of movies which match the engine's aspect ratio but have been saved in the wrong aspect ratio. For a visual description please refer to the chapter "Aspect Ratio Control" in the appendix at the end of this document.
