3. Select the Program Render:

In this section it's possible to assign an output, either SDI or NDI, which will function as output Program for Nunzio ETX Playout. Ths would be our MAIN output signal.

4. Select the Secondary Video Render:

Assign an output for the secondary videos played by Nunzio ETX Playout. It's also possible to set a custom image (even by drag&drop) or color as default output, to be displayed when the secondary video is not available (if not set, the default output is black).

Secondary Videos are often used in Etere Ecosystem to send video signals in separated outputs, such as Video Walls, External Feeds, PIP video Mixing.
