NOTE:
Settle time allows the user to set up the time delay between switching from one input to
another. With a lower settle time, there is a greater chance that video will glitch on the
Preview outputs when the video is switched very quickly, and repeatedly in such a way and
speed that is not really practical. In most applications this is not an issue.
TIP:
To avoid the dastardly video glitch or transient hiccup, use the same resolution video feeds
(all 1080i or all 720p on the inputs) and the settle time (the time it takes to acquire the
signal, stabilize the video, route the signal and scale the signal, process it and send it to the
program output) can be reduced for a very quick, glitch free production which is ideal for a
3-camera interview shoot using quick cuts, but if you are producing content such as this,
you already know this tip. On the other hand, if you were to use all 6-inputs with different
video resolutions and aspect ratios, expect to increase your settle time accordingly.
