Multiview; Input Configuration - NewTek 3Play 3P1 User Manual

FAILSAFE
Figure 70
3Play's multi-tiered 'Always on Air' hardware and software failsafe systems (see Section 2.6.2) provide
confidence that short of a complete power failure the show will go on.
In some settings, however, more elaborate hardware failsafe systems may be in use. Typically, such
systems take over broadcast duties whenever the output signal fails. In this case or for other reasons,
3Play's failsafe video passthrough mechanism (which ensures that video output continues even in
catastrophic circumstances) may be redundant, or even prevent the external system from engaging.
For this reason and others, the Failsafe section in Output Configuration has a switch that lets you to disable
the A/V passthrough when necessary. By default, A/V Passthrough is off.
Tip: Only use fail-safe when a stable video source is connected to the highest number SDI video connector
on 3Play's backplane.

Dashboard). 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.
