Live Input

!This option is only available by using a Shield actor.

The Live Input can be used within the Compositing and/or to add effects on top of these.

In general it´s possible to define Textures, Media Sources and Media Bundle as input.

*A “normal” SDI input should be set to “is SRGB Input” to be in the correct color space.

Live Input for green Screen with external keyer

It´s possible to do the composting within Shield instead within a hardware keyer.
Simply send the Key and Fill as SDI feed from the hardware keyer into Shield.

Define the “Fill” source within Shield settings / Live Input / Input.

Define the “Key” source within Shield settings / Live Input / Input Alpha Channel.

*The Garbage Matte pass can be also used to effect the Live Input within Shield.

Live Input for augmented reality (AR)

It´s possible to do the composting for AR directly within Shield.

Define the camera feed within Shield settings / Live Input / Input.

Add effects to the Live Input

A live input can also be manipulated with a “Post Process Material”.

!Make sure that the defined Material has the same “Parameter Name” like within the Project Settings for the “TextureObjectParameter”.

!The Material needs to be a “Post Process” material and “Output Alpha” for Post Process Material needs to be enabled.
