OUTPUT VIDEO MONITORS/DEVICES
Downstream video devices you wish to send 3Play output to must be compatible with the video
broadcast standard (such as NTSC or PAL) and format (SD or HD) of the current 3Play session.
1. Connect cables between downstream devices (whether monitors or other devices) and
appropriately labeled video output connectors on the backplate (see Section 3.5.1).
2. Open a 3Play session (or create a new one) from the 3Play Startup Screen.
3. For SD sessions and display devices, you may need to adjust the connection options
found in Output Configuration:
a. Double-click one of the output monitors to open the Output Configuration
panel.
a. Click the appropriate output tab (A or B), and select either ‘Composite + Y/C’ or
Component, according to the connection type used by your device. (Please see
Section 3.7 for more information.)
B.1.4 IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF MULTIVIEW OUTPUT?
It is possible for to choose settings that will have a negative effect on the Multiview video output
image. For best quality, be sure that the VGA Output Resolution you choose corresponds to that
of the monitor connected.
NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. Thus we do not
recommend changing this setting during live production.
B.1.5 CONNECT THE GENLOCK REFERENCE SIGNAL?
1. Connect the reference signal to the Genlock input (BNC connector) on the backplate.
2. See Section 3.8 for details on configuring Genlock settings.
