Live video switching is now available in Captivate to allow the operator to easily switch between all your live sources from their own Live Video Switching panel during broadcast. For versatility purposes, there is the option to switch the Live Video Switching Control on and off at your convenience to reactivate control back in the Project List with all the other graphics. The Live Video Switching panel allows you to group, view, and control all live sources from a single panel versus having to sift through the project list when time is of the essence.
1. Ensure your Live Video Switching Panel is open by clicking the Switcher icon in the top Menu bar so that it highlights in blue or go to View > Video Switcher so there is a check visible.
2. Add a new live video source by going to one of the following:
- File > New > Live Audio/Video > choose video source from the options connected
- In the Project panel > Right-click > New > Live Audio/Video > choose video source from the options connected
The Live Video source will now be visible in the Live Video Switcher panel and a Live Video/Audio tab will open when the layer is selected. Repeat for all live video feeds you you plan on using for Instant Replay clips.
3. Select the Video Source in the Live Video Switcher to Play Live.
4. To play Live Video Sources off and relinquish control in the project list, you will need to uncheck the (Use in Switcher/Mixer) control in the Live Audio/Video tab in the Properties panel. (The Live Video Source must be selected in the Project List to display the connected Live Audio/Video properties.)
Note: There is an option to change the Live Audio/Video to a different source by clicking the source-labeled button in the Live Audio/Video tab in the Properties panel > Windows Device > choose a different source.
