About Production Element Properties

Property settings for live inputs and media (clips) are provided in a shared menu in GV Director.

There are three types of properties that can be changed in the Properties menu:

Frame Sync when enabled allows you to bring in an untimed source and introduce an extra frame of latency to that source, synchronizing it for output. It is available for live input production elements only and each live input can have this setting applied independently. This setting is disabled by default.
In Point: and Out Point: is provided for clips and allows you to set in absolute time code a later start and earlier end point of a clip.
Aspect Ratio Conversion is available for live and media (clips) production elements and allows you to format incoming clips of a different aspect ratio to be used with the current production. There are three settings for this property: The Stretch setting will stretch the image either x or y depending on the conversion. The Fit setting will stretch the edges of the image until it reaches the edge of the current format which results in either pillar boxes or letterbox when converting from SD to HD or from HD to SD. The Fill property results in the image completely filling the frame.
