With automatic track selection and customization options like countdown and input monitoring, creating a voice over has never been easier!
Multi Source: Multi Source lets you see all your live cameras, or even just clips in a bin with a common timecode, in a multiview screen to look for any point of interest. You can scrub, play and select shots to add to the timeline or simply play to air. You can even switch live from any of the available angles.
Point of Interest: When watching live cameras or a multiview of clips and a signifiant event occurs, capture the moment with a POI marker. The POI is placed on all the clips at that same time so you can quickly find the event on every camera angle, play them to air and even automatically build a highlights timeline.
Replay Palette: The pace of live TV is frantic so the replay controls are clear and quick to navigate. Set a POI with a single key, select a camera and cue the event. Then select run to play to air automatically via ATEM. You can switch cameras or once it’s done, simply dump the playout to prepare the next replay.
Auto Stinger: Stingers are moving graphics and sound transition to let the viewer know you have switched from live to a replay, then back, or even just switched to a new scene. Select auto stingers from the media pool and play in real time at the head and tail of a replay, even when the replay is in slow motion.
Color
Chroma Color Warp: Chroma warp lets you intuitively adjust color and saturation with a single motion in the viewer. The stroke control moves colors in one direction, while the point to point mode isolates regions for more precise hue correction. You can add pin points to isolate regions you do not want to affect.
Remote Monitoring Improvements: When streaming remotely, you can choose to display power windows and other overlays on the reference monitor.
