    • Newsroom channel alias: Alias to be used from the NCS to direct the lower third or video wall element to the correct engine.

    • Shared engines with AVAutomation: Enable the check box if the Trio Interface and the AV Automation are sharing play-out on the engines. If enabled, the Trio Interface will signal the AV Automation when there are no Viz Mosart controlled lower thirds on-air, allowing for any cued full screen graphics controlled through the AV Automation to re-cue. The engine configuration must be the same in both applications.

    • TL: Specifies that Transition Logic is used.

    • Cont. scene: Use Continue for takeout of scene based graphics.

    • Preview engine: Indicates which Vizrt engine to be used for preview of overlays.

    • Shared engines with AVAutomation: This functionality assumes that the graphic configuration in AV Automation is equal to in Viz Trio. Viz Trio will protect the engine from being used by AV Automation when CG is active in Viz Trio.
