Using this built-in method enables youĀ to switch between a Live Input Signal and the playout of a video file without the need for a video router. You can also add graphics to the Live Input Signal without the need for a second video device.

AJA and Black Magic Design only: Using this built-in method means that the video card synchronizes to the incoming videoĀ so make sure that there is always anĀ incoming video signal and that it is stable.Ā To stabilize the signal in advance (i.e. before it is sent to the video card input) you must use a frame synchronizer which supports the playout format of your channel.Ā Suited frame synchronizers can be found on the AJA WebsiteĀ or you can also use a Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher. If VANC data pass-through is required, an AJA FSx device (except the mini), or any other frame store which allows passing through VANC data, has to be used. Please contact the manufacturer of all 3rd party video devices which are used with your setup to make sure, that they can handle the VANC data as needed.
