How do I configure a DDR within Liberty, using an Ethernet connection (for example, the Chyron Aprisa 300 DDR)?
• Go into Liberty’s Configuration environment. • In the Video Configuration panel, select VTR 1. In the list of devices, select your DDR (for example, “Chyron Aprisa DDR”). Below that, press on “Control”. Set the Type to “Ethernet”. In the Address window, enter the network host name (or IP address) of the DDR. Then press on “Video” (to the right of “Control”). Again, set the Type to “Ethernet”. Verify that the host name/IP address is set in the Address Window. Press the green Configure button, and look for the message “Done Initializing VTRs” in the prompt window. • In the Canvas Configuration panel, verify that the Canvas and Display resolutions are appropriate for the DDR you are using, and that NTSC or PAL is set correctly. • Once the DDR is configured, you can control it, and grab and render frames, using the VTR panel (in Paint, and in the upper left corner of the Animation environment). Be sure to select the proper VTR number in the Source and Target set-up menus in the VTR panel
