Things to know before install:

-It is still beta, there are a few bugs, specifically related to zoom and the name/branding is not consistent yet. The install includes a version of our CG which is still SD at the moment and the rest of the GlobeCaster apps which do not do much more than open for you to look at, at this point.

Things to know after install:

- Once installed, If you want to use the "Panam 780 windowed" option from the start menu for your monitor that only does 1360x768, It will probably say something about the layout but you can get past the pop up by hitting ok. to avoid that in the future just set the AC1024.Playout file that will be visible on the left of the Panam workspace to the default (right click, set as default) I use a 1080 monitor and that is the default on install. Basically managing layouts initially can be a PITA.

- Panamation and Preview Visualizer aka "Viewer" in the start menu are working with NewTek's NDI. At the moment, none of the other GC apps are.


Testing NDI sources in Panam:

Open Panam and find the "Workspace" button to open the properties panel.

Click "NDI/Capture Card" in the panel to select the incoming source. It should become visible in the workspace within a few seconds.


NDI Output:

In the same workspace props panel you will see a "NDI" button. Click it! You are now sending NDI out... Want to send a discreet NDI out from a layer (or 8, or 88?) go to layer properties by right clicking on the layer and give it a name, then hit NDI button.


Telestrator Mode:

If you look in the main control window on the right, you will see a "Telestrator" button.. This changes the layout to maximize the workspace size.

In the workspace props panel, you can "Snap Source" to grab an image and display it on output, or just freeze the incoming source video so you can draw over it.


Have fun!
