AUTOMATION MODE: Determines the timestamping mechanism used for commands
between the Vertigo devices and Xplay.
• D
ISABLED: When selected the timestamp of the command will be ignored
and the command is executed immediately.
• S
YSTEM COUNTER: High performance counter issued to reference the
time of the command.
• S
YSTEM CLOCK: Sets the format of the timestamps, which is timecode-
based (Hour: Minute: Seconds: Frames).
DEAD BAND: Sets the dead band zone for the time stamping of commands. If
the difference in timestamps between multiple commands is less than the
dead band, the earlier timestamp will be use for all commands.
P
REROLL: Sets the preroll time by which all timestamps are adjusted. The
default value for this setting is 10 frames.
PREROLL MARGIN: When the Vertigo devices receive automation commands,
they are usually timestamped. The devices add the preroll time as an offset to
these timestamps. The preroll margins is an additional offset added. The
preroll setting is an integer allowing only whole frames. The preroll margin
allows fractional values. The default value for this setting is 0.25 frames.
RENDER PATHS IMAGES: Specifies the directory path of where the image file will be saved to
when the S
NAPSHOT command is used in Xbuilder.
C
LIPS: Specifies the directory path of where the image file will be saved to
when the R
ENDER TO DISK command is used in Xbuilder.
STATISTICS ENABLED: Displays the frame rate, video card, and memory use on the output
display for debugging purposes.
EXTRA INFO: Displays timing information (Dx9, DSX, Readback) on the
Vertigo XG’s output display for debugging purposes. Timing values are
displayed in milliseconds for each thread.
D
EVICE OUTPUT FILL: Only the fill signal will be transmitted to the output monitor.
F
ILL AND KEY: The fill and key signals will be transmitted to the output
monitor/device. This setting is the default for Vertigo XG devices.
I
NITIAL KEYER STATE Sets the initial state of the Vertigo device’s internal virtual keyer list.
O
N: Sets the Vertigo device’s keyer to an active state. This is the default
setting.
OFF: Sets the Vertigo device’s keyer to an inactive state.
R
OLL UPDATE INTERVAL Determines if the vertical movement interval of a crawl is based on a FIELD or
F
RAME.
P
ASSWORD A simple security feature that allows you to set a password so that other users
cannot change the device settings.
