Vision mixer settings/research (done)

Working with the vision mixer you must listen to the director, each instruction is an important duty and if you do miss hear you must correct it as soon as possible so that the live show can continue and  move on.

Using the fade switch is a useful tool but with our specific model it is not advised to use said switch because it leaves a few frames black while streaming live, so to combat that issue what we will be doing is using the "Auto" button that does the same function however it has a sharper cut than the switch so instead of fading into each other each shot will cut sharply which will help a lot since there will be a lot of cuts very quickly being called.

The lights above show that the output settings as when we go live it will be lit up as 720p since that is the streaming rate of YouTube; however it is needful to point out that the 1080i light will shine first since it is the default setting, so that will need to be changed the day we go live.

We will be using the Ethernet cables instead of HDMI cables because not only does Ethernet have the potential to go up to 90 meters long but in comparison HDMI cables can only go up to 10 at a stretch. The only fault with Ethernet that is apparent even though it is suitable for a large studio stream is that they are weaker and if they are knocked or step on then the feed will be interrupted. The solution however is to have cable bashers and just be as careful as possible.

The GREEN numbers mean that it is in preview which will come on the preview monitor however the YELLOW light means that is the screen that is live and will appear on the outgoing stream
monitor. Switching from one to the other is easy when you as a vision mixer focus on the directors instructions and hover your fingers over the preview cameras and know what to do.
