Monitor   CONTROL PAGE

DispMode  (List Box  Options: 1-way | 4-way, Default: 4-way)
Selects the mode of displaying the resultant image.
1-way: Output only one of the clips into result. Select the clip to view with the Show Camera buttons.
Brightness  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 500.0, Default: 90.0)
     Monitor lift and brightness controls.

Roll  (Checkbox  Default: Off)
     Roll on/off.

Roll Offset  (Number  Min: -100.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 10.0)
     Controls the offset of the band. Measured from the top of the screen in terms of the percentage of the image height.

Roll Speed  (Number  Min: -100.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 15.0)
     Controls the speed of the band.

Roll Width  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 15.0)
     Controls the spread of the band. This simulates the effect of recording material off a tv screen so that the relative frequencies of updating and recording are visible to the human eye. Value is in terms of a percentage of the image height.

Roll Dim  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 200.0, Default: 100.0)
     Controls the darkness of the band. High values result in clearly defined dark bands across the image. Lower value yield a more natural looking fade at the top and bottom edges.

Resolution  (List Box  Options: Highest Res | High Res | Med High Res | Med Low Res | Low Res | Lowest Res, Default: Med High Res)
Controls the perceived resolution of the clip. This control is different from the standard resolution control wherein the size of the processed image is scaled down. Here, it controls the perceived resolution of the input clip(s). Changing this value does not speed up/down the processing time since the rest of the processing is still done on the selected image size.
Lift  (Number  Min: -100.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 0.0)
Scan Lines  (Checkbox  Default: On)
     Toggles the appearance of scan lines in the resultant image.

Scan Width  (Number  Min: 0.10, Max: 50.00, Default: 0.70)
     Controls the width of perceived scan lines. Value is given in terms of percentage of image height.

Scan Bright  (Number  Min: -100.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 20.0)
     Controls the brightness of perceived scan lines.

Border Width  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 100.0, Default: 1.2)
     Controls the size of the border that is applied to the 4-way split scenario; percentage of the image width.

BW Monitor  (Checkbox  Default: Off)
See also: Colour Monitor
     Which type of monitor do you want?

Colour Monitor  (Checkbox  Default: On)
See also: BW Monitor

Red  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 200.0, Default: 100.0)
Green  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 200.0, Default: 100.0)
Blue  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 200.0, Default: 100.0)
     RGB controls.

Saturation  (Number  Min: 0.0, Max: 200.0, Default: 60.0)
     Colour saturation when using a colour monitor.

Force Update  (Pushbutton)
     If the hold values for each of the cameras are greater than 1 then this plugin will only update (parts of) the image from the source clips when a frame is due for refreshing. This control forces the plugin to re-read the input frames again and reset the reference time from the current time
