Connection Diagram 15 Switching Your Production Now that you have your everything connected, the switcher is ready to start switching your production. This happens when you switch from one video source in your broadcast to another. With Geek N8, you can switch cleanly using professional cuts or transitions. For example, a cut will instantly change from one source to another and a transition will change sources over a defined duration often using an effect. a mix transition gradually fades the current source into the next until the original source is no longer visible. A wipe transition will move a line across the original source revealing another effectively wiping across the image. [PGM 1-8] These select the video source (background) for program output. The button of the selected video signal lights in red. [PVW 1-8] These select the video source for preview The button of the selected video signal lights in green.

In addition, the first three fields of numbers in the panel's IP address also need to match, but have their own identifying number in the last field so they won't conflict with each other. This is generally the most important principle to know when working via Ethernet. Focus, exposure, gain and white balance control doesn't work for NDI protocol, this is due to NDI protocol limitation. You can still use PTZ control with NDI though. If you'd like to use all these controls, please connect your cameras with N8 with RTSP protocol. Controlling Audio When setting up your production or during your broadcast, you will likely want to control audio levels if the sound is too quiet or too loud.
