Image 6-14: Configuration Menu: System modifier area
• Canvas Mode: Canvas mode allows the user to choose between “PGM and PVW” canvas mode (the
default setting) and “PGM only” canvas mode.
- PGM and PVW—(Default) The unit reserves up to 20 megapixels of canvas for Preview (PVW) and for
Program (PGM) whenever a Screen Destination is created.
The preview canvas allows the user to preview changes before those changes are output to a Screen
Destination.
- PGM only—”PGM only” mode doubles the amount of PGM canvas to 40 megapixels, because the unit
no longer reserves canvas for PVW.
◦ Because the system no longer maintains a preview canvas, Backgrounds will cut to the program
canvas (PGM). Mixing layers, however, will still mix between sources.
◦ The Chroma key feature is not available in “PGM only” mode. (The Luma key feature is available in
“PGM only” mode.)
After updating the canvas mode, save the configuration by pressing the "Save All" button at the bottom
of the Menu navigation bar (on the left-hand edge of the screen), and then soft reset / power cycle the
unit for the system to reconfigure the VPU cards.
Note: The maximum number of canvas links available for the Multiviewer is eight for the E2, and four
for the S3.
• Preset Conflict: Mode—When using single layers conflicts can arise when a Preset Recall modifies a
source layer that is currently on Program. You may choose from three Preset Conflict Modes to resolve
these conflicts.
- Auto—The system performs the necessary actions to gracefully recall the Preset to Preview and to
wait for the user to transition to Program.
- Force Recall—The system recalls the Preset directly to Program. Program is not protected.
- User Confirm—The system presents the user with a pop-up asking what to do when a conflict is
detected.
User Confirm options:
◦ Resolve – All Trans or Cut: Perform the necessary actions to resolve the conflict and perform an
All Trans or Cut to bring the Preset to Program.
◦ Resolve – Wait: Perform the necessary actions to resolve the conflict and wait for the user to press
the All Trans or Cut manually.
◦ Cancel: Cancels the entire Preset recall operation.
- Off—The system alerts the user with an error message about any Preset recall conflict, but it does not
present a pop-up menu for resolving the issue.
• Preset Conflict: Time(frame) is the amount of time the system uses when automatically performing an All
Trans.
• System Native Rate (Hz): System native rate in Hz (Cycles in second). Available selections:
23.98 30 59.94 120
24 47.95 60
25 48 100
29.97 50 119.88
The native system rate needs to match the general frame rate in the event where the unit is used.
• System Backup: IP address of the backup system.
Enter the IP address of the backup unit, and press the "Sync" button to push the settings from the active
system to the backup system.
• Genlock: Selects the system genlock mode from the options Freerun, Lock to External, or Lock to Unit
ID.
• Genlock Status: Reports the system’s genlock mode status: Locked or not Locked.
