AUTOCUT

At this point we need to explain the AUTOCUT functionality It is an unique automated switching feature of the ProHD STUDIO production SW inherently connected with Media and Playlists playback. It allows you to select a Camera, which will be switched to Live PGM after a Media File or Playlist playback (further: “M/PL”) reached its end.

Procedure to operate:

1. When a M/PL is switched to Live PGM a darkened area = AUTOCUT SWITCH appears in the lower part of all Live Camera Monitors.

2. Tap/click on any of them, to activate it. After the M/PL reaches its end a camera with the active AUTOCUT switch is automatically switched to Live PGM. By default, when a M/PL is switched to Live PGM, the AUTOCUT SWITCH of a camera is activated, that was last in live PGM, before the M/PL was played.

Tap/click above the AUTOCUT SWITCH inside the Live Camera Monitor will terminate the AUTOCUT function and normally switch that camera to Live PGM, just as usual.

A COUNTDOWN TIMER inside the AUTOCUT button indicates the remaining time of the M/PL. If a M/PL is set to loop, the countdown timer is showing the remaining time of the M/PL currently playing.

CG OBJECT CONSTRUCTION

All CG objects are constructed from separately controlled layers. Depending on the type the CG Object will have dierent layers that need to be setup. All CG Objects contain a GRAPHIC BACKGROUND layer plus several other - either editable or dynamic text layers that are positioned on top of the background layer. All layers are combined to create a composite CG Objects that can be used in your productions.

CG OBJECT PARAMETERS EDITING

Tap the CG PARAMETERS EDITOR button of any CG Object in the CG list that you wish to edit. It provides access to all controls to setup the CG Object for use in your productions. The CG Editor GUI is divided into TABS containing all controls to setup the parameters of all layers used in the construction of the CG Object.

• BACKGROUND Layer

Contains the controls to setup the background graphic for all the other TEXT layers placed above. Supported ﬁle formats are: - .FLV for animated backgrounds

- .PNG for static graphics with transparency

• TEXT and CRAWL Layer

Allows to type/paste/edit the text content and control its parameters.

• DYNAMIC TEXT Layer

Used in the Timer/Score CG Objects only. Its content is controlled by a LIVE GAME controller that allows to increase the score, the game period or it is a running timer measuring the time of the game.

BACKGROUND Layer parameters setup

• CHOSE BACKGROUND FILE - drop-down selector menu to select the graphics ﬁle to use for the layer

• CLEAR - clears the selection of a background ﬁle

• X-POS, Y-POS - position the graphics ﬁle using the coordinates controls

• LOOP button to turn the loop on/o for the selected graphic/animation ﬁle

• SCALE, DURATION, CROSSFADE - set parameters using the provided controls

• Tap/click the PREVIEW monitor to preview the modiﬁed CG Object Buttons at bottom:

• LAYER OFF - switches the layer o so it is not visible in the CG Object composite

• CANCEL - aborts the editing and exits the editor -> go back to the list of CG items

• APPLY - applies the changes you made to the CG Object

• SAVE - saves all changes and exits the editor -> go back to the list of CG items.

Page 25

TEXT Layer parameters setup

• Edit/Type the text content in the text ﬁeld

• Format the text using the provided controls - Font, Size, Line Spacing, Style, Opacity, Alignment in a usual text editor way.

• Setup the text position using the X-POS, Y-POS, Text Block Width, Text Block Height properties

• Setup the text animation using the In-Time, Out-Time, Crossfade properties

• The LAYER OFF, CANCEL, APPLY and SAVE buttons function the same way as described earlier.

NOTE:

X/Y-POS parameters deﬁne the coordinates of the TOP LEFT corner of the text block within the video frame. The TEXT BLOCK WIDTH and HEIGHT deﬁne the distance from the X/Y = Left/Top edges of the text block. That determines the width and height of the whole text block calculated from the X/Y coordinate. (E.g.: If X=0 and TEXT BLOCK WIDTH = 1920px it means the text block is set to the full width of the frame)

CRAWL Text Layer parameters setup

The procedure is identical to editing a regular text layer with a few additional settings:

• SPEED - set the speed of text movement

• DIRECTIONAL BUTTONS - set the direction of the text movement

• LOOP - turn a loop of text movement on/o

• EDIT TEXT - enter a separate EDIT CRAWL TEXT pane to allow longer text edits All the other controls function the same way as already described.

Page 26

CRAWL DIRECTION and LOOP parameters setup

• Use the LOOP button to loop the crawl text.

• Use the CRAWL DIRECTION buttons to specify the crawl direction.

NOTE: The loop is only active for as long as set by the OUT TIME parameter which has the priority.

The OUT TIME setting will terminate the crawl regardless of the loop setting. To loop the crawl text indeﬁnitely you need to set the OUT TIME to 999.

TEXT LAYER COLOR parameters setup

• Push the BUCKET Icon in the STYLE group of icons. The COLOR EDITOR pane opens

• Tap/click inside the color selector or enter the new color RGB values numerically

• Push the APPLY button to view the new text color in the PREVIEW monitor

• Once you decide on the new color push the SAVE button to save the setting The color editor closes and the CG editor is displayed with text in new color.

• Once you are done with all edits push SAVE to re-render the CG and exit to the CG list view

NOTE:

ProHD Studio provides several examples of ready-made CG items to help you get started working with the CG system quickly. We recommend to duplicate any CG Object before you start editing it’s parameters so the original conﬁguration is preserved for reference.

Page 27

TIME/SCORE CG Objects

This type of CG Object allows you to create live sports graphics dynamically controlled via the TIME/SCORE CONTROLLER. It is revealed via the large [SHOW/HIDE] button in the TIMING OPTIONS Tab found in the CG Tab of the CMA Left Side Menu.

The controller is displayed within the SA (Settings Area) Replay Tab to allow simultaneous operation of other functionalities of the SW.

The controller oers SCORE and a GAME/TIME controls with various options. Detailed description is provided in the TIMING OPTIONS TAB section on the next page.

TIMER/SCORE CG Object - Layers Setup

All TIMER/SCORE CG Layers are setup in exactly the same way as the layers in a regular TEXT CG with the dierence that there are no input ﬁelds for the dynamically or automatically triggered text ﬁelds. The default values for those are displayed when setting up to allow for positioning and formatting. The actual values will be controlled during the live game using the TIME/SCORE CONTROLLER described above.

TIMER/SCORE CG Layers: BACKGROUND - a graphics ﬁle used as background for all the text layers placed above it TEAM HOME and TEAM AWAY - regular text layers to be ﬁlled in buy user SCORE HOME and SCORE AWAY - dynamic layers to indicate the current score DELIMITER - regular text layer to be used as a separator between the score indicator digits PERIOD - automatic layer indicating the current game period CLOCK - automatic layer - running timer display

Combining these elements allows the creation of eective live sports graphics. Examples are provided with the installation of ProHD Studio free to be used in your productions. Your own custom graphics can be used by selecting them in the background layer setup.

Page 28

TIMING OPTIONS Tab

This is where the dynamic layers data output logic is setup. The output of the TIMER/SCORE CG Object may vary signiﬁcantly depending on how the various parameters in this pane are set. Please read this section carefully and familiarize yourself with all the settings and their eects on the display of the system to avoid unexpected or confusing results. Once you understand it thoroughly it will serve you well.

CLOCK Parameters Setup

NOTE:

controller and the CG display until you press the SET TIMER button described further down.

Inserting a value here will not yet aect the actual state of the counter in the

2. COUNTING - choose a time counting method. [ + ] for counting UP ... [ - ] for counting DOWN

NOTE 1: Be aware that if the COUNTING Method is set to [ - ] DOWN, the Start Time ﬁeld needs to be

set to a value allowing a Time Countdown to actually take place!

3. TIME DISPLAY - choose whether the time counter is to display time per MATCH or per GAME PART

NOTE: Be aware that this parameter setting will have dramatic eects on the actual time displayed.

The displayed time will be aected by the Counting Method and the Start Time. If the Counting method is set to [ - ] Countdown, and Time Display is set to PER MATCH the Start Time ﬁeld needs to be set to a value that covers the entire match. If the Time Display is set to PER GAME PART hence the Start Time ﬁeld needs to be set to the duration of a Game Part. The clock has to be stopped manually after each game part.

4. SET TIMER - SET TIMER red button will actually insert the time value in the START TIMER ﬁeld into the LIVE TIME COUNTER in the CONTROLLER and in the CG Output.

- CANCEL will undo changes in the Start Time Field to a previously set value which was conﬁrmed by the SET TIMER button.

5. RESET TIME - will instantly reset the TIME value in the Controller as well as in the CG Output to the value speciﬁed in the Start Time ﬁeld of the Clock setting. It will also STOP the clock and timer display.

Page 29

GAME PARTS Parameters Setup

1. GAME PART - use the +/- buttons to set the Number of Game Parts in the game.

NOTE:

This value needs to be set if you wish to count time by Game Parts.

2. GAME PART TIME - use the +/- buttons to set the Duration of an individual Game Part alternatively you can type in the numeric value directly

NOTE:

The clock has to be stopped after the game part. When it is started again at the beginning of a new Game Part it will start counting the set Game Part Time again regardless of when it was stopped - thus allowing to count the time of a new Game Part from its start.

This value needs to be set if the Time Display Clock parameter is set to Game PART.

SCORE Parameters Setup

1. SCORE TYPE - drop down menu selector allowing the choice of a scoring method. At the moment a general scoring method is available. Scoring methods for other sports with a dierent scoring scheme (e.g. Tennis, Baseball) will be available in a future version of the ProHD Studio SW.

REPLAY MODES

ProHD Studio features a very unique and extremely ecient, easy-to-use replay system that doesn’t require a special training or an extra operator.

It oers 3 dierent MODES to work with replays, that provide many creative possibilities.

1. NORMAL MODE

2. SRP - SEQUENTIAL REPLAY PLAYBACK MODE

3. DRCS - DYNAMIC REPLAY CAMERA SWITCHING MODE

NORMAL mode - a replay is switched to PGM by a tap/click on any of the numbered replay camera but-

tons.

Numbered Replay Camera Buttons in Normal Mode

SRP - SEQUENTIAL REPLAY PLAYBACK mode - allows to play a sequence of replays.

1. Tap/Click the SRP MODE ICON to activate the SRP MODE (outlined in yellow) The numbered replay camera buttons become outlined to indicate the active SRP MODE.

Highlighted Replay Camera Buttons in SRP Mode

2. Tap/click any of the numbered replay camera buttons to start the playback of a replay sequence. The REPLAY PREVIEW pane opens and the replay playback of the selected replay camera is indicated by a blue progress bar above the replay video monitor. Click any other video preview monitors you wish to add to the sequence. All this way selected replays will play in a sequence in the same order as selected. The replay playback progress is indicated by a blue progress bar above each replay video monitor. Additionally a numeric display in the top right of the replay preview pane indicates its remaining time.

3. Tap as many replays as you wish to add to the presently playing sequence. A replay that is already ﬁnished - indicated by a blue bar above - can be added to the currently playing sequence again by tapping its video monitor again. Its bar turns grey and the replay will be added to the replay sequence again.

At this point you can either CLOSE the Replay Preview, MARK a replay as FAVORITE or ASSIGN a REPLAY

to a PLAYLIST to create a REPLAY HIGHLITS PLAYLIST - described further down on the next page.

CLOSING REPLAY PREVIEW

Tap/click the PREVIEW ICON in the Replay Set to close/open the replay PREVIEWS pane with replay preview monitors. The previews loop indeﬁnitely to give a good overview of their content.

Page 39

DRCS - DYNAMIC REPLAY CAMERA SWITCHING mode Allows switching camera angles during replay playback.

1. Tap/click the DRCS MODE ICON to activate the DRCS MODE. (outlined in yellow) The numbered REPLAY CAMERA buttons group in a block to indicate the DRCS MODE.

2. Tap any of the camera buttons to start the DRCS replay playback in PGM.

Replay Camera Buttons in DRCS Mode

The REPLAY PREVIEW opens immediately in the CMA to reveal the Replay Preview Monitors. The DRCS replay playback is indicated by a BLUE PROGRESS BAR and the red text: “DRCS REPLAY” above.

3. While the ﬁrst replay is playing in the PGM tap/click the replay preview monitors to switch camera angles just like switching cameras in real time. The replay preview monitor of a replay currently in PGM is outlined in RED for visual control.

A COUNTDOWN TIMER is provided displaying the remaining time of a replay. Once the replay is ﬁnished a live camera is automatically switched to PGM via AUTOCUT (described on next page).

FAVORITES and REPLAY HIGHLIGHTS

In the open REPLAY PREVIEW two more buttons are available bellow the replay preview monitors:

A - Add Replay to Playlist - adds a replay to a playlist to create a Highlights sequence in Playlists B - Favorite - marks a replay as Favorite - used for FAVORITES VIEW in the Replays List.

A B

SLOW MOTION REPLAY PLAYBACK / FREEZE FRAME

During the replay playback SLOW MOTION functionality is available. Default replay playback motion ratio is 50% of original speed. Use the following keyboard shortcuts for Variable speed and Freeze frame:

[ S ] - hold to slow down replay playback to 20% of the original speed [ F ] - hold to speed up replay playback to 100% of the original speed [ Z ] - push to freeze frame, push again to continue replay playback

All replay playback parameters are fully adjustable in the SETTINGS / Replay Settings section.

Page 40

DELETING REPLAYS

Replay Sets are stored internally as timestamped ﬁles for each camera separately. Deleting a Replay Set is a destructive operation, which physically erases the ﬁles from storage.

AUTOCUT IN REPLAYS

Allows users to select a live camera, that will be switched to PGM automatically, after a Replay ends. When a replay is switched to Live PGM the AUTOCUT SWITCH appears on top of the lower portion of all Camera Monitors. Tap/click to activate it on any camera. After the replay ends the camera with the AUTOCUT ON will be automatically switched to Live PGM. The AUTOCUT functionality is described in detail on page 19.

AUTOCUT switches

NOTE: By default, the AUTOCUT SWITCH of that camera is activated, which was live in PGM before the

the Replay was switched.

WIPES

Short Lead-In / Lead Out animations used in the Replay system as transition to enter and exit the Replay. The users can create these animations themselves to enhance the visual appeal of their productions. It is a well accepted, unobtrusive way to introduce commercial content, sponsor logos etc. into the production which can become a source of extra revenue for the production. Exact Wipes usage statistics are provided for monetizing purposes.

NOTE:

A choice of a single wipe, a sequence or a random shue mode can be set for the use of Replay Wipes. Wipes format: FLV animations with transparency. The switch to and from a replay is executed 1 sec. into the wipe exactly. To cover the camera to replay switch it is best to create the animation with a full frame graphic at 1 sec. A tutorial on Wipes construction is available.

NOTE: By default, Wipes are used when entering and exiting the replay system only.

When switching from replay to another replay no wipe but a 10 frames crossfade is used. The user can override this setting or turn of the functionality completely in Replay settings.

SA (Settings Area) - AUDIO Menu Tab

Activates the display of the AUDIO MIXER in the CMA and the REPLAY CAPTURE buttons in the SA.

The AUDIO MIXER board provides all the standard Audio for Video mixer interface elements.

1. Cameras SDI embedded audio faders with level and peak indicators

2. Audio Follow Video, Solo and Mute buttons for each fader

3. Media audio fader with Solo and Mute buttons

- If the Stereo Lock PGM faders is Deactivated (unlocked icon) the faders move individually.

- Double clicking on any Fader Button will set its level to [ 0 ]

- In the Unlocked state of the PGM faders double clicking one PGM Output fader will set the other PGM fader to the same level as the one that was double-clicked

- In the Locked state of the PGM faders double clicking any of the faders will set both their levels to [ 0 ]

3 4 5 6 7

AUDIO FOLLOW VIDEO - This functionality makes the audio mixer a slave to the video mixer. If the AFV switch is ON (red icon) - switching cameras to live PGM will switch the audio as well. If AFV is OFF (grey icon) - audio is sent to PGM at levels set by the faders - regardless of camera switching.

SOLO (headphones icon) - send that channel to the PREVIEW Output controlled by the HEADPHONES fader

MUTE - mutes the audio in a channel

AFV SOLO MUTE

NOTE: Basic knowledge of audio mixer operation is required. It is beyond the scope of this manual to

explain Audio Mixer board operational procedures.
