Use DSK position tools to create a ‘squeeze-back’ of the assigned source. You can cover two
independent events simultaneously in this manner; show live gameplay while playing a highlight
reel, or a commentator during an instant replay, and much more.
Note: When working with a Program-Preview transition workflow (See Chapter 14), the DSK channels
swap each time a Take or Auto is performed.
15.1.2 OVERLAY GRAPHICS AND TELESTRATION
Not only can you overlay highlights, clips and live cameras, but you can also use overlays to display
graphics, with full key and fill support. For many creative and potentially rewarding applications, a single
operator can run the replay system and also display timely graphics and overlays. When combined with
single click stinger capabilities, the ability to perform colorful custom transitions to and from live video
and to flexibly overlay other graphic and video inserts at the same time, your 3Play can serve as a complete
house production system.
You can even mark up your replays with output from a telestrator overlaid on your video output. Or, with
Reverse Key enabled, show markup behind the action over the (keyed) playing field or court (see the
heading NDI Telestrator in Section 15.2.4).
15.1.3 OFFICIATING AND OVERLAYS
Replays are also obviously important for referee and coaching use. Instant
replay for officiating purposes is increasingly a mandatory requirement of
numerous leagues.
A dedicated camera capturing the clock in sync with other camera angles can
easily be overlaid over outputs for absolutely guaranteed synchronization with
the actual game time. Too, the ability for coaches or referees to view two angles
of a play at the same time is truly invaluable.
If that is not enough, since 3Play’s dual outputs can be operated in “gang” mode, officials can easily review
separate angles, whether on a single screen or side by side on two simultaneously (each with their own
synchronized clock overlays). And because the clock cams are overlaid, rather than embedded in the
angle shots, they can be freely cropped, scaled, and even re-positioned at any time if they should happen
to the action.
15.2 SOURCE OPTIONS
A huge and diverse list of potential sources is available for each of 3Play’s two DSKs (DSK A and B).
