Program/Preview Overlays on the Multi-View
If desired, the Program and/or Preview monitors on the Multi-View may show safe
zone overlays, as shown below. These overlays are useful when aligning Keyers
and shot compositions, when adding graphics to ensure visibility on tube monitors
and when producing a 4:3 output in a 16:9 show to ensure no video/graphics are
cut off.
There are 3 overlays which may be selected on Preview and/or Program:
Title/Action Safe Zones (Aqua-colored lines), 4:3 Video Safe Zone (White-colored
lines) and Center marks (Aqua-colored cross).
To display an overlay on Preview/Program:
Right-Click on the Preview or Program Monitor, and a
pop-up menu will appear.
At the top of the pop-menu select Show safe zone,
