Chapter Avid Liquid Installation
Live Input (Virtual Live Player)
Use the Live Player if the video or audio signal is not from a controllable source (such as TV) or if you are
controlling the player source using the controls on the device itself. You can assign a user-defined name
for the Live Player. See also “Assigned Name” on page 6.
A remark for users of Avid Liquid in combination with analog input/outputs: Use the Live Player to cap-
ture analog signals. With IEEE 1394 (i.Link DV) remote control there is DV in/out exclusively
.
This restriction does not concern Avid Liquid systems equipped with RS 422 interface. You can use ana-
log inputs in combination with RS 422 control.
Options
You can add TC data to the live input signal or use the supplied TC data of the signal.
