To Set Media File Properties

  1. Press the source button for the media-store channel, or press Press HOME > More > Effects > MediaStore.
  2. Load the media file that you want to set the properties for into a channel.
  3. Press On-Air Properties > Base.
  4. Use the X and Y knobs, or the positioner, to adjust the position of the media file onscreen.
    Note: You cannot position any portion of an image off-screen, as this may cause video errors. Full screen images cannot have their position adjusted.
  5. Press Unshaped or Shaped in the Video area to set how the key and alpha are displayed.
  6. If the switcher is in an interlaced video format, press Frame, Swap, Field 1, or Field 2 in the Play Mode area to select how the media file is displayed.
    • Frame — display the entire video frame.
    • Swap — swap field 1 and field 2.
    • Field 1 — display only field 1.
    • Field 2 — display only field 2.
  7. Press BT.601 (SD), BT.709 (HD), or BT.2020 in the Color Mode area to select the color space, within the YCrCb color model, that the media file will be displayed in.
    Note: Media files stored in a format other than BT.2020 will not display properly in BT.2020.
    Note: Media items must be created in the same color gamut and dynamic range that they are intended to be used in on the switcher. If a media item is created in one color space and the switcher is operating in another, the media item may not appear correctly.
    Tip: If you switch video formats between an HD and SD production, and want to use the same media-store files for both, you should select the correct color space for each file, each time you change video formats.
  8. In the Image Scale area, set whether the media file is scaled to the current resolution of the switcher (On), or not (Off).

    Use this option if the media file you want to use is of a different resolution than the switcher is operating in.
