ONNECTIONS
A.1.1 CONNECT CAMERAS?
1. Connect video sources to the appropriately labeled BNC input connectors on the
NewTek 3Play™ backplate, according to your camera's connection type - see Section
3.4. You may find the BNC removal tool shipped with your system helpful.
2. Open a 3Play™ session (or create a new one) from the 3Play Startup Screen, and launch
the Replay Desktop.
3. Click the Cameras 1- (4 or 8) tab at the top of the Replay Desktop, roll the mouse pointer
over the preview monitor for the source you want to set up, and click the Configure
(gear) button that appears above it.
4. Choose an appropriate Connection Type for your camera in the Input Settings tab (see
Sections 3.4 and 7.2.1).
A.1.2 COLOR CORRECT MISMATCHED CAMERAS?
Your 3Play™ system permits the use of sources that do not match the current session format.
You might connect an SD camera during an HD session, for example. The official broadcast
standard for SD video is Rec. 601, but HD video conforms to Rec. 709 - and NewTek 3Play™
output color space is governed by the session format.
