Video Output settings

Standard

By default, the standard is set on AUTO (automatic).

It means that the resolution and frame rate of the composition on the timeline is used as video output parameters.

In some cases, you may want to output a different resolution than the composition, that you can select from the drop-down menu:

Resolutions displayed in the list are relative to the formats supported and delivered by the video I/O card installed.

Basics drivers are installed with the application. The .msi   file install the minimum configuration to run the video card. To access the video card proprietary tools, download the drivers from their manufacturer website. It is highly recommended to keep the drivers up to date.

The Video output settings of the Project only defines the output through the video IO card and not the project / compositions output properties.

Scanning

Allows you to manually set an Interlaced output, or to use automatically the parameters of the composition on the timeline.

HDMI enabled

When available from the video IO board, selecting this option output the signal using HDMI as well.

Both SDI and HDMI output are done in parallel.

Dolby Vision

Enable this option to send the Dolby Vision metadata over HDMI to the consumer TV (tunneling). 

The Dolby Vision Tunneling capability is only available using a AJA Kona 5 video IO board or BMD Decklink 8K Pro G2.

Audio Delay

The audio delay is used to read the audio ahead of the video in order to compensate the delay introduced by an external audio processing device (e.g. a Dolby E decoder).

The value represents the number of frames ahead of the video position from which audio is read during playback.

→ Use the slider or double-clic on the value to set the desired audio delay in frames.

This option only affects playback, not rendering
