■ Hold the Ctrl key and space bar and drag up or to the right to zoom into
the Player.
■ Hold the space bar and drag the cursor to pan across the Player.
The same zoom and pan hotkeys also work for the Schematic view. There are
two other hotkeys that you can use to zoom the Player so that it displays pixels
at a 1 to 1 pixel ratio, and so that it fits the frame within the Player’s current
display size.
To fit the frame within the Player’s current size:
1 Bring your cursor over the Player.
2 Hold the Ctrl key and press the Home key.
To display the pixels of the frame to a 1 to 1 ratio with the resolution of your
monitor:
1 Bring your cursor over the Player.
2 Press the Home key.
Customizing the Player Options
The Player is currently set to display the tool output and that is why you didn’t
see anything in the Player until you added the tool and it was selected. You
control the Player’ s options. You can access the Player’ s options from the Gate
UI.
To access the Player options:
1 Bring your cursor over the Player.
2 Hit the tilde (~) key or click the middle-mouse button to display the Gate
UI.
3 Swipe through the south gate.
The Player options will appear at the bottom of the UI. These options
allow you to control what is displayed in the Player, for example, tools,
channels, information, and proxy levels.
4 Ensure that the display option is set to tool output.
5 Ensure that the View option is set to Chns:RGBA.
6 Ensure that the Proxy Scale option is set to full.
