Selecting Clock selection
supplants the video display
with Event Clocks showing
current time or LTC timecode
along with countdown style
Start and End clocks (see
Section 8.4.3). The Custom
Image feature lets you display
a network logo.
A further display you may find useful is the Timecode Only option that appears at the
bottom of the Media Players sub-menu.
This alternative displays a counter showing the current position
of the playhead in the Media Player. The display respects
Reverse Direction and Warning Colors options, too.
Below the basic source selection options in the menu, you’ll find
another group that provides access to optional Overlays for the
monitor port.
Available overlay displays include
Checkerboard (shows a checkerboard
pattern wherever transparency exists in
the source); Title Safe (note this is a 4:3
format safe margin); 4:3 Safe (a true 4:3
frame edge boundary), Center Cross to help
with alignment, and Show Illegal and Show
Alpha.
In addition, you may choose to display VU
Meters with the source, Tracking Markers
(see 8.2.8) and Hot Spot Markers (see
Section 8.2.7).
The final Overlay option flips the images horizontally, useful for a variety of studio
requirements such as talent orientation in greenscreen applications (including
Hotspot operations).
