  • 1.  Using Matte generator as source for still store or multiviewer source on Acuity

    Posted 05-31-2023 01:46

    Is it possible to assign the built-in background generators to an output (or input, like a still store) so I can choose and display a full-screen solid color on the Acuity?

    We have a film crew shooting in our control room tomorrow and they discussed having either green, blue or black. on the multiviewers to be replaced in post. I don't know how close the RGB values matter, so it would be nice if I could tweak them from the switcher on demand, rather than import them from another computer - especially when the director and 20 other people are waiting on you for immediate results. :)

    Bryan,

    You can assign a Background Generator as an input source using Bus Maps.

    Navigate to:

            Setup --> Installation --> Bus Maps

    Assign an input to a Background Generator. BKGD 1 & BKGD 2 should be the first two listed sources.

    Ah, thank you, Kurt. Exactly what I needed. This will come in handy down the road.
