To Play Media in the Video Media Player

Still and Video Media Buttons can be loaded and played on the Video Program and Preview Media Players. Each Media Player has dedicated HD-BNC video and key (alpha) outputs with 8 tracks of embedded audio.

Tip: Media Player audio can be sent to the AES-59/TASCAM® audio output from the Audio Router.
  1. Click the Video or Still Media Button you want to load onto the Video Preview Media Player.
    Tip: Double-click a Media Button to load it onto the Video Preview Media Player and immediately take it on the Video Program Media Player.
    Tip: You can also drag and drop a Media Button onto the Media Player.

    A green box appears around the video on the Video Preview Media Player and the Media Button.



  2. Click TAKE to transition the media item on the Video Preview Media Player to Video Program Media Player.

    Tip: You can click TAKE to perform the transition immediately, before the media item on the Video Program Media Player has ended.


  5. Add the contents of another Media Button to the Video Preview Media Player or allow the media item on the Video Program Media Player to end.
    Note: The VIDEO PGM Player @END of CLIP parameter in the Player Settings sets whether the Video Program Media Player cuts to black or freezes the video on the last frame when it reached the end of the media item.
