choose “Metropolis A Quad Split” from the “Metropolis A” folder in the file
pane at right.
10. Assign video or graphics sources to Inputs A-C. These inputs supply the
three monitors behind your talent shots.
11. Input D is meant to feed animated text (whether from a DDR, or perhaps a
Network Input source such as LiveText) to the various news tickers in the
scene.
Your animated text should be centered vertically in the frame, and presented
over either a transparent or black background. The font size need not be overly
large, but you can use the Position tools for the Input D layer to scale and
reposition it as necessary.
Hint: If you temporarily select M/E 2 on Program output, you’ll see how this quad
source is arranged (prior to being fed to Input D of M/E 1).
