5.14.2 VideoOut

The VideoOut tab displays a simple and an Advanced Properties view. The simple view

shows the mapped Viz Artist channel. In the advanced view every setting of the output

channel can be controlled. The switch between the simple and the advanced view is

done with the small black triangle on the right-hand side.

• Map to Viz Channel: Decides which Viz Artist video out channel is mapped onto

this Matrox video out channel. The drop-down gives a choice between the available

channels. Only the channels not already taken are shown.

• Unused: Do not use this Matrox channel for output.

• Program: Plays out the Program signal of Viz Artist.

• Preview: Plays out the Preview signal of Viz Artist.

On a single channel configuration VideoOutA is usually mapped to Program and

VideoOutB to Preview, whereas for a dual channel configuration usually the first

channel maps VideoOutA to Program and the second channel VideoOutB to Program.
