About Preview
Imagine a restaurant with monitors that normally play sports videos. A
TitleMaker3000isusedtoadd phonemessages,menuspecials,andannounce-
ments to the screens, using superimposed scrolling and crawling titles. As
dinner service begins, the manager wishes to change the specials. Without
the Preview feature, the patrons would see the titles being changed. They
would see the same thing the manager sees, including the Editing Screen,
typing in progress, etc.
Instead, the manager uses aseparate monitor, connected tothe PREVIEW
output. When the manager presses NEW LINE/OK, the Editing Screen ap-
pears only on the PREVIEW monitor. The normal output displays the sports
video without titles and changes can be made privately.
Once the changes are complete, the manager presses PLAY and the titles
play, as usual, on all monitors.
Using a PREVIEW Monitor
Preview is automatic. If a cable is plugged into the PREVIEW OUT jack,
TitleMaker 3000 automatically uses it, displaying the Editing Screen only on
the PREVIEW monitor. When you play titles, they are always displayed on
bothscreens.
ForcingPreviewMode
You can also switch Preview on and off, regardless of whether the PRE-
VIEW OUT jack is in use, by pressing CMD + P.
