Useful and Simple Transition Effects
Cut, Mix and Wipe are the three useful and simple transition effects built into the switcher. Via an easy-to-use 14 inch touchscreen UI, the transition settings will be immediately accessible after selection of a particular effect. For example, if you’ve selected WIPE, you can easily adjust the transition speed by dragging a slider with your finger or tap to select a color for the border.
PIP and Split
PIP is often required in video production. Most of the time, the PIP window size need to be adjusted for the program view. The SHOWCAST 100 allows you to drag different sliders on the touchscreen UI with your finger to set the aspect ratio of the PIP window. The split window is usually used for live interview, corporate presentations, and panel discussions.
Camera Presets
Even though SHOWCAST 100 can control only three PTZ cameras, you can save up to four presets per camera, giving you a total of 12 different angles for your production. The 12 memory presets allow the director to instantaneously switch between different camera angles on SHOWCAST 100 by pushing corresponding preset buttons.
Fine Tuning the Camera Parameters
On the intuitive touchscreen UI, you can easily adjust the camera’s focus, iris and white balance settings. Settings of a particular program can be saved in memory presets for future use.
Two Ways to Overlay Subtitles
The SHOWCAST 100 offers two ways to overlay subtitles. A lumakeyed subtitle is usually used for logos, animated texts, etc. Lumakeyed subtitles can be previewed on the multiview screen and transitioned to program. Another way is to overlay the subtitles using the built-in network streaming encoder. On the web UI of the streaming encoder, enter the subtitle texts in the text field of the CG page after which the subtitle will be shown on your streamed video as streaming starts and recorded on the SD card along with the video. If lumkeyed subtitle and CG texts are shown at the same time, they will all be recorded on the SD card.
Lumakeyed Subtitle
