Recalling a Layout Preset
Layout presets are used to preconfigure a presentation prior to going live (see the
ISS 608 PCS Help File to configure a layout preset). This minimizes missed cues or incorrect
video layout. A layout preset captures transition effect settings, a logo preset, the input
channel, and any picture control adjustments made to the preview output (for a list of all the
layout preset options, see the Layout Presets table below). When recalled, layout presets
apply the settings to the preview output to review the configuration before TAKE is pressed
to make it live on the program output.
