9. Playback & Playout
Playback Mode
One of the key elements of the Shogun 7 is the ability to utilize the monitor
recorder as a play back and play out device for the content that has been
recorded whilst maintaining the same visually lossless high quality images.
Shogun 7’s Play out capability also allows you to send the live and
recorded footage out to a larger HDMI monitor or switcher.
