SDI Preview in a Dual Application Workflow

When running Lustre and Flame/Flare on the same workstation, both applications will try to connect to the AJA board. The steps listed below enable you to manage communication to the AJA board.
Note: The following only applies to the AJA 3G, 3G Quad and 4G. This feature is not supported in configurations that use the AJA OEM-2K, due to an AJA driver limitation. In this case, you must set either Lustre or Flame/Flare to use the AJA board and deselect SDI Preview in the other application.

For a Single DVI Configuration

  1. Set the DVI monitor to display Flare/Flame's Batch tab.
  2. Load a Batch scene from Lustre.
    • The Batch interface is set in 2-up view and the Scene context is set for monitoring.
    • The AJA SDI Preview is now set to Flame/Flare.
    • If you Alt+Tab back to Lustre, the AJA SDI Preview is automatically set to display Lustre.

For a Dual DVI Configuration

  1. Set the DVI focus to the second DVI monitor.
  2. Load a Batch scene from Lustre.
    • The Batch interface is set in 2-up view and the Scene context is set for monitoring.
    • The AJA SDI Preview is now set to Flame/Flare.
    • If you mouse over the Primary monitor, where Lustre is displayed, the AJA SDI Preview is automatically set to display Lustre.
    • The mouse over now dictates which application uses the AJA SDI Preview.
