3play 4800 manualGet started with NDI. Engage in-house fans, online viewers, social media followers, and broadcast audiences with greater ease and simplicity—with incredible savings on equipment investments. Users can also choose to simultaneously record all 8 inputs as separate camera feeds to add more angles as needed. What Can I Do What Can I Do This system is a member of the NewTek family of live video production systems and software, and enjoys a proud heritage. A bona fide video pioneer, NewTek is justifiably proud of its record of innovation, ongoing commitment to excellence and superb product support. Pressing REC on the Control Surface (or clicking the Record button in the titlebar on the Replay Desktop) activates continuous capture of all configured sources. STARTUP SCREEN The Startup Screen appears when you power up your NewTek 3Play. This area offers initial configuration options along with system management tools. Figure 2 (3Play 4800 shown) The Home page of the Startup Screen allows you to define and open sessions, essentially custom presets for individual productions or other purposes. Figure 5 Some very important features occupy prime visual real estate in small panes just beneath the Channel Info displays. A large, high-visibility field at left in this zone is referred to as the FastClip toolbar (Figure 5). FASTCLIP TOOLS Figure 9 You’ll find additional and very important features occupying prime visual real estate just beneath the monitor area (Figure 5). A large, high-visibility window at left in this zone is referred to as the FastClip dataview. There are a maximum of ten bookmarks. The PLAY LIST plays all entries in sequence from top to bottom, with optional transitions between clips. The latter approach allows you use 3Play’s powerful effects system to transition between the sources displayed on Outputs A and B (see Chapter 14, Transitions).http://mpti.ru/userfiles/4-stroke-scooter-manual.xml

In this (program-preview) scenario, Channel B stands in for the traditional program output, while Channel A serves as preview. It also reviews registration for warranty purposes and technical support. After completing this short section, you’ll be all set to continue into the Walkthrough chapter that follows it. For a previously registered system, you can also obtain it from the registration webpage mentioned in the next section. If you cannot locate the serial number, call NewTek’s Customer Support Desk (open seven days a week). This will take you to the Registration webpage ( ) in the Customer Care section of NewTek’s website. There you will find further directions. Tip: More information on connecting to a network can be found in Section 3.11. External audio and video sources are connected to the appropriate inputs on TriCaster’s backplate.Connect the cable from your timecode generator to one of the connectors in the Audio Input 7 group for 3Play 4800 or, for 3Play 440, either Input 3 or one of the 3.5mm audio input jacks (line or mic level) on the back of the system. External timecode is enabled and configured in the Replay Desktop (see Section 7.3). For 3Play 440, there may be a number Display port connector types. You can use any two (and only two) of those available. Among other things, the Home page is where you choose basic 3Play session settings (see Section 5.1 for a discussion of sessions). Then assign drives to pairs of cameras you intend to recording controls in the Storage Volumes control group. For the moment, let’s choose 1080i for Output Resolution (even if the cameras you plan to connect are SD 4:3), then click the Create Session link below. Note: 3Play supports a variety of optional session configurations for live production. We had a brief glimpse at the Replay Desktop back in section 2.http://www.landpas.pl/upload/4-ton-manual-chain-hoist.xml5 (and we’ll examine it more closely in Chapter 4, Live Production Walkthrough), but after a quick look around let’s continue to configure your input and output connections. The Aux pane provides control over the third primary video output section on 3Play’s rear panel, referred to as the Aux output. However, if you supply an HD reference signal to the Genlock input, you may want to change the setting to HD (Tri- level). Figure 29 3. Click the Configuration button (gear) for Camera 1 to open a settings panel (Figure 29). 4. Click the Input Settings tab. 5. Figure 30 The upper menu permits you to choose a different audio input to be captured with the video clip for this camera. In a very short time, these basics will be second nature to you. More detailed reference material on all aspects of 3Play follows in Part II (Reference). THE REPLAY DESKTOP Figure 34 5. Notice that the In Point updates when you do this. 21. Complete the current event in the CLIP LIST by pressing the OUT button on the Control Surface. Note: You can even use the keyboard or mouse to edit PLAY LIST entries without interrupting a CLIP LIST angle playback, and vice versa.The use of SHIFT with ENTER produced a different result. Rather than merely replacing the current Memo entry with the new value from the dataview into the only, it pushed “field goal”. Figure 38 “Tags”. Let’s add some entries to the other default tab, and then stop to review what we’ve accomplished. 52. Observe, first, that the text value “home” has been added to the FastClip dataview. This is the value from the 0:1 cell in the TAGS pane. Also, notice that the TAGS pane’s Auto Advance feature automatically presented the next tab (PLAYER), and awaits further input. Immediately, all events which have at least one clip with a matching Memo entry are displayed in the Search Results tab. If any single element is located in a Memo cell for a clip, the entire event - all angles - is displayed in Search Results.http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/67617 Tip: GO TO normally takes CLIP ID numbers as input. This engages Delayed playback mode, and jumps the playhead immediately to the specified timecode. From here, you create, configure, manage and launch 3Play sessions by making selections from the icon ring. Generally, hard drives can capture input from two live sources), while keeping up with concurrent playback demands. REDUNDANT (4-CHANNEL) In this mode, data for each input channel is mirrored to a second drive, providing failsafe storage and convenient sharing options for your critical footage. Note: In Standard (8 Channel) session mode, the Backup column in this area is not used. The session settings also affect capture. For example, if your session format is SD 4:3, this is the format normally captured by the Record function, even when the input Connection Type might be HD to accommodate a specific camera;. This pane shows all sessions stored on currently mounted drives. The Session Name and video format for each is listed separately under a header named for the storage volume they are located on (Figure 48). Figure 48 Note: Media configured as Read-only is not shown for the New or Open (session) features, since they cannot be used for sessions. Among other reasons, doing so will serve to identify the unit to NewTek as yours in case of theft, and will also allow you to check for software updates that may have been recently released. Eventually, this can degrade playback performance. Defragmenting corrects this condition. You could think of your hard drive as being like a shelf in your library. This does not merely restore the operating system, or other data files. Please refer to Section A.5.6 in Appendix A for full details and usage notes. The links at right on the Session page under the heading Browse provide access to default session folders. Click Add to open a standard system file window, and select (or multi-select) items to build a list in the Import Media file pane.http://www.dolciariavarone.com/images/3pm-kundera-manual.pdf Some highly compressed video files may not be well suited to live playback. Figure 57 The Export Media module allows you to create a list of video clips for export, even selecting a new file format for individual exports to be converted to and designating where to send them. Click the Add button at upper left to open a special Media Browser which shows clips you have marked in the session, including their Memo field comments. When a file (or group of files) is selected, you may use the Duplicate and Remove buttons at right to either clone or delete entries in the list. The Duplicate feature is very useful for cases when you wish to export a file to multiple target file formats to be used for different purposes or in different applications. It provides control over input and output configuration, recording, clip marking, PLAY LIST preparation and playback, and much more. This chapter provides a top-level view of the Replay Desktop, with more detailed information following in subsequent chapters. Some examples are shown in the table below.During this warm-up period, an initialization countdown is displayed in the Status Bar. Figure 64 Note: Status messages disappear on their own after a little while, but you can manually dismiss them by clicking the square icon shown to the left of the text message. MACROS 3Play’s extensive Macros system provides a wealth of powerful capabilities. Macros and related tools are discussed in detail in Chapter 17.Select this to open a control panel () Figure 68 with multiple tabs, one for each detected display. In turn the tabs are home to Proc Amp controls and settings for the connected display devices. Note: On 3Play’s rear panel, the VIDEO OUT group connectors labeled 1, 2, and 3 (3Play 4800 only) carry channels A, B, and Aux, respectively. Analog connections are also available for simultaneous use for these primary outputs. These provide configurable connection options, as discussed next. ANALOG OUTPUT TYPE For HD sessions, the only suitable Analog Output Type in popular use is Component. The name you supply will appear in the Channel Info Panel (Section 2.5) in the Desktop monitoring section and Multiview display. Consider an army marching along: each step the soldiers take occurs at precisely the same moment, so we could Figure 79 say their timing is synchronized. To adjust the setting, supply color bars to an input, pass that through to a video output, and then to a downstream vectorscope. The vectorscope display is completely stable when Center Frequency is properly adjusted. For best results, configure the Multiview Output to the native resolution of the external display (monitor or projector) connected to it. See Section 6.4.2 for details of the Workspaces menu.The Connection Type menu for a PAL session lists suitable PAL HD and SD format options. Choosing NTSC as the session video standard results in a Connection Type list with appropriate formats, and it is similar for NTSC-J. Changing from one video standard to another requires opening a new session. The name supplied will appear elsewhere in the user interface, including in the HUD (Heads-Up Display). AUDIO SETTINGS Figure 84 Section 3.10 detailed Input Configuration panel controls devoted to Audio setup. At the simplest level, as you record audio with your video (or pass it through to output), the input meters assure you that audio is arriving at the audio inputs. Likewise, the output VU meters provide confidence that you are supplying audio to the outputs. Often, though, even greater consistency can be achieved by treating sources in similar illumination environments as a group. Enable Multicam for several cameras causes Auto Color to evaluate and adjust these cameras in unison. Figure 88 The implementation offers a number of configuration options. TIMECODE CONFIGURATION NewTek 3Play can supply timecode from its internal system clock, or can refer to an external LTC (Linear Timecode) source supplied to 3Play inputs (see Section 3.4.3). Physically, these two channels are individually supplied to connectors on the system’s backplate for output to downstream devices. Tip: Another way to change the Source Delegate is to click the mouse in the CLIP LIST, PLAY LIST. Just to repeat it in this context, the Channel Info pane under the currently delegated channel output monitor is normally shaded to what source is assigned to it. Press STOP again to jump to the first frame of the current clip (or double-press Stop during play to do this).Press it to turn the feature on, and press it again to disable it. When enabled, the transport effect of the Jog Wheel (discussed next) is multiplied eight times so that you can traverse the frames in your media more quickly. Normally, the light is brightest at the top of the T-Bar’s stroke, representing 100 playback speed. Their roles are not complicated, but it would be good to review them anyway. Figure 103 Note: Of course, marking events would be pointless without recording, so pressing either IN or OUT automatically enables Record when necessary. If no In Point has been set (by pressing IN), pressing the OUT button will: Create a new event. Automatically assign both an In Point and an Out Point to it. By default, the In Point for this event is set four seconds before the time when you pressed OUT. This is a very useful feature, enabling you to quickly skip through your recorded video to specific points. A bookmark is set at the current timecode every time you press the BOOK Figure 105 MARK button (as long as recording is underway). Otherwise, literal numbers are entered. The GO TO button has several functions. When editing Memo cells, pushing ENTER updates the cell using the current content of the dataview. Tip: Hold down SHIFT when pressing ENTER to cause all Memo cells for the current event row to take on the same value. Fittingly, NewTek 3Play provides monitoring features that are just what you need to prepare and control video replays in your productions. For example, a team logo file in 32bit PNG format will allow the video it is applied over to appear behind transparent regions of the image. Click this icon open Input Configuration panel for that source (see Section 7.2). Among other things, you can supply a new name for the input in this panel, and it also holds Proc Amp and Audio settings. This identifies the channel being controlled at the moment. A broad progress bar shown on the background marks the playhead position in clips. This section provides helpful information about recording and storage volumes, as well as explaining how recording is enabled and disabled. The list may include suitable external drives along with those inserted in the 3Play system’s removable drive bay(s), and also network-attached storage devices and volumes. Tip: The default “Started Recording“ notation in the Memo columns of record events can be edited in the standard ways. Close the Grab Still Configuration panel by clicking Close, or clicking anywhere outside the panel. Then click the Grab button to capture images to your hard drive. The CLIP LIST is first stop for newly recorded media, and also serves as the library where production assets are organized and managed. To display a specific tab, simply click it. Alternatively, you can navigate tabs using left or right TAB buttons on the Control Surface with the Source Delegate set to CLIP LIST;. The results displayed in the tab are persistent, and remain available for other operations to be performed until you perform another Search. MEDIA BROWSER Figure 125 The left and right panes of the Media Browser are the Location List and File Pane, respectively. Tip: Press the keyboard Tab key to cycle through the Location List, Filter and File Pane folders. LOCATION LIST The Location List is a column of favorite “locations”, grouped under the headings Clips, Stills, and My Media Locations. The third main header in the Location List is somewhat special. CUSTOM LOCATIONS Clicking the Add Media Location button (Figure 126) at the bottom of the Location List opens a standard system folder selector. Double click a file (or press OK, to append it at the end of the current CLIP LIST page. Conveniently, the File Pane supports multi-selection as well. Figure 127 Filenames for media added to the CLIP LIST are initially shown in the Memo field columns for all camera angles. This works just as well for multi-selected event rows (the original order of the selection is preserved when moving multi-selected event rows). The current list selection state is separately stored for each Channel Delegate (A and B), so it’s almost as if you had two CLIP LISTs. The PLAY LIST module supports these special playback features and more. Multiple PLAY LIST tabs let you organize and switch from one compilation to another with alacrity. To display a specific tab, simply click it.Tip: One useful thing to note is that because the Media Browser is context sensitive, when opened from the Music menu it automatically points to Audio locations in its left column (the Locations List). However, PLAY LIST clips are independent entities. And likewise, editing an item in the PLAY LIST has no effect on CLIP LIST content. Tip: When clips are multi-selected, many operations will affect all selected clips at once. In contrast, the two Audio columns hold controls governing audio embedded in the clip on the corresponding row in the PLAY LIST. The controls in the first column affect the first two audio channels, while the second column relates to channels 3 and 4. Not unlike its CLIP LIST equivalent, the menu provides access to Cut, Copy and Paste, Delete, Undo and Redo features (also available using standard keyboard shortcuts). It also has two important additional items. Figure 139 The Export PLAY LIST option flattens the entire playlist, including audio, down to a single clip which is appended to the current CLIP LIST page. These files can be used to reconstitute a playlist in NLE (non-linear editing) applications with EDL file import support. 3Play’s EDL files are created on the master Session Drive for the session, in a folder located at drivename:\Media\EDL\session name\. You will likely use tabs for different categories of clip identifiers, such as player names, action types, and so on (the default tab names hint at this approach). Figure 141 Figure 142 No matter what the content of a given tag cell might be, the cell itself is easily identified by its. This is a drag bar, and also provides several added convenience features related to viewing or hiding the TAGS pane. The mouse pointer appears as a pointing hand when it is in this zone. Click once here to minimize the TAGS pane; click it again to restore the TAGS pane to its last expanded state.To create or update a tag, simply enable EDIT TAGS, click in a cell, and type. Pressing ENTER confirms the edit and moves the cursor to the next tag cell, ready to continue. When finished, turn off EDIT TAGS to resume normal tagging operation. Tip: The first cell (0,0) in each tab cell is non-editable, and always shows the word “SKIP”. As play proceeds, a player commits a foul, and you press (Mark) OUT to add the event to the CLIP LIST. Experience has shown that the numbers of frequently entered tags soon become so familiar that it’s often unnecessary to even have the TAGS pane open to add the desired metadata to clips. In an instant replay setting, too, there is no time to waste (if you can’t find just the right clip faster than your director can blink, you may just find yourself looking for a new job.) In recognition of the vital importance of this matter, fast, innovative search-related functions are. Timecode, Clip and Event IDs work, too, for certain operations.When a SEARCH operation is executed, event rows with are listed in the Search Result pane (CLIP LIST) whenever of their cells contains elements matching any search criteria item tab. Let’s consider some simple examples. Identify each tabbed TAGS page by an entry in the first column. The example below illustrates the correct format for a table with two tabs named “Home” and “Guests”: Home 0 7 8 9 Skip. They can even include custom graphics and audio, adding powerful emotional impact. This section explains the selection and use of appropriate transition effect, various transition workflows that 3Play offers, and the included graphics tools enabling you to author custom transitions. For example, you might want to quickly run replays with dramatic effect specifically tailored to the sport, team, or play that it will show.A useful set of sample Animation Store effects are included with your 3Play, but the real power of the Animation Store system is that you can quite easily create custom effects using the supplied Animation Store Creator add-on application. Of course the most basic of these is the selection of a specific effect. Both provide integral alpha channel support and independent Positioner controls (including edge cropping). Video and graphics overlays can be scaled and cropped, and placed anywhere within the video frame. Overlay channels can be used creatively to layer video sources for compelling highlights and much, much more. And because the clock cams are overlaid, rather than embedded in the angle shots, they can be freely cropped, scaled, and even re- positioned at any time if they should happen to the action. Not surprisingly, the link will fail if the original file is moved, or deleted from the hard drive. The Browser allows selection of files in most still image formats (including those with embedded transparency), along with special animation effects. IVGA iVGA is the proprietary NewTek utility supplied to let you use data directly from the interface of a networked computer. It has a tiny footprint, and can even be run from a USB thumb drive, without no need to install it directly on the hard drive of the remote client system. DEVELOPER NETWORK The NewTek Developer Network comprises a large and ever-growing ecosystem of companies and products. Many world-class organizations have developed applications and systems with support for NewTek’s live production systems. Hint: You can also constrain mouse actions to one axis by holding down the Ctrl key before dragging. Dragging a numeric control with the Ctrl key pressed increases accuracy by 5 times. The process does not impose intrusive burdens on the operator, and can be performed even while the action and replay marking continue. Click an icon or the neighboring configure button (gear) to open the Account Configuration panel (Figure 171). This is where you enter your personal credentials for social media sites or storage targets, and specify local or networked destinations. These features can be invaluable for collaboration, whether local or remote. 16.2.3 COMPRESSION A feature common to both File Copy and FTP publishing is the option to. It would be different if all you had to do was punch a button on the Control Surface, right.The Publish Queue panel is easy to comprehend.The neighboring Status column tracks upload progress. QUEUE TOOLS Three Publish Queue features help you manage your queue entries: Add opens a Media Browser, which in turn lets you select something other than the default angle for Grabs, among other things. Initially, this list includes two items - a folder labeled System Commands, and another just beneath it named Session Macros.First, System Macros are specially safeguarded within the system. Rename, Delete, Clone and Paste features are disabled, nor can you alter the order of entries in the list. Also, be aware that un-checking the enable switch at left for the entire System Macros folder (or individual entries within it) will naturally result in the failure of all related keystroke shortcuts. Depending on your order of operations, you may need to re-highlight the newly recorded macro in the list to show its Stop control (to end macro recording). 17.3.2 MANAGING MACROS The Macro Configuration panel has management features such as folders, rename, clone, and hotkey assignment, as well as Import and Export (share macros with other 3Play users). Click this to add the macro to the Favorites menu, shown when you click directly on the Macro control in the Dashboard. ) Figure 183 To set a new shortcut or modify an existing one, click one of the Shortcut fields in the footer of the Macro Configuration Editor panel;. Bangs appear at right for all macro entries in the Macro Configuration panel lister with shortcut conflicts. Some, though, require non- standard device drivers. Generally, adding device drivers to NewTek products is discouraged, since these may not have been prepared with the rigorous demands of live production in mind. TriCaster has a second network input, which you can send commands to using the shortcut entry “net2”. The remaining configuration attributes (“ip”, “port” and “password”) are set at the external hardware device (refer to the vendor’s documentation for details);. Standard copy and paste keyboard shortcuts are supported as well. The headings that follow list related questions and answers together, along with cross-references and other helpful remarks. Do not extend the supplied cable if possible. SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION: Q: My system has suddenly stopped responding to the Control Surface. What can I do? A: The foremost reason this might happen is if the cable (or extender cable) you are using between the Control Surface and NewTek 3Play failed to deliver sufficient current consistently. A: NewTek Sales may offer additional hard drives for use in the removable bays. NewTek supplied storage media has been carefully tested to meet exacting specifications, and can be expected to provide optimal performance and reliability. NewTek 3Play provides full-time video termination. If you need to loop through (or t-off from) upstream video devices (such as an external monitor) in your video pipeline, you should ensure termination is turned OFF for earlier devices. This will delete the session, and any content that is local to the session (external data that has not been imported and data on drives that are not mounted at the time will not be deleted). RELATED QUESTIONS: Q: I pressed PLAY, so why is my output frozen. A: Check to see if the Control Surface T-Bar is at the 0 position (stopped). Importing files implies copying them into the session folders, making them local (rather than external) to the system and session. This metadata is only retained when you export to storage formatted as NTFS. That being said, the metadata is automatically regenerated if you use the files with NewTek 3Play again later, so its loss poses no issue. Certainly you should always take sensible precautions to avoid introducing infected files by rigorously virus-checking media you plan to connect or import before ever connecting it to 3Play. Anything you install apart from official updates places these important goals at risk. Doing so is strongly discouraged. To do this, you will need the operating system serial number, which you will find on a sticker affixed to the exterior of your system. Visit the NewTek Website, at www.newtek.com and select Support from the main menu at the top of the page. This page always contains the latest support information for your NewTek products, including FAQs and documentation. Applications of this type require significant system resources. At the same time, 3P ’s primary functions require unhindered CPU and GPU access. When you i) disconnect or ii) power down just one of the modules, or iii), if a PSU should fail, a beep is sounded to alert you. For NewTek 3Play, the following standards are applicable:.
