This section contains examples of various setups you might use with PowerScript, along
with simple variations. Study each example and determine which one most closely fits
your equipment setup. Then follow the instructions in that section to set up your equip-
ment.
If you don't feel confident about setting up your equipment, consider taking the equip-
ment manuals to a local video equipment dealer and ask for their assistance.
You might need to purchase additional cables to complete the connections. Here again,
your local video equipment dealer is a good source for gathering what you need.
The following setup examples use two terms to describe the way you use monitors with
Preview vs. Program
PowerScript— Preview monitor and Program monitor.
Monitor
Any type of monitor can serve as a Preview or Program monitor. The Preview monitor is
your working monitor. That is, the PowerScript interface components (such as menus)
appear on the Preview monitor. Therefore, the Preview monitor is where you compose
productions.
The Program monitor displays your production when you play it back. For example, you
might create a page of production credits, then play it back on the Program monitor.
This manual uses the following pictures to designate between Preview and Program Mon-
itors where necessary.
Preview Monitor
If you have only one monitor in your setup, it can serve as both the Preview and Program
monitor. See "Using PowerScript in Single-Monitor Mode" on page 24 for details.
