4.10.2 ADDING AN UPSTREAM OVERLAY

Figure 69

Just above the Input A row, you’ll see a control area labeled Overlay, with its own source row
along with other controls.

The Overlay feature in Virtual Input works very much like the two downstream DSK video layers
we used back in Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, but is upstream of the Switcher. Thus content in this
overlay channel thus appears beneath anything you display in those two video layers on Program
Output
.

4. Access the Title player, and Add the “Breaking News.CGXML” icon (imported back in

Section 4.2) from the Practice Sessions folder.

5. Edit the top line in the title to say “5 Day Forecast”, as shown in Figure 70.

6. Select Titles in the V1 tab’s Overlay row, and display the Virtual Input’s overlay channel

by clicking the Auto button in the Overlay Transition area of the VI tab).
