Live Switch- Graphics and DSK Setup

Topic

  • How do I add and display graphics in Live Switch?
  • Where can I assign graphics to DSKs for use during an event?

Environment

•    Live Switch software (DD4646673)
•    Pre-created PNG graphics (transparent background, 16:9 aspect ratio)

Steps

Load Graphics into the GFX Tab

  • Click the GFX tab in Live Switch.
  • Select Add GFX and choose a graphic file (PNG format, 1280x720 or 1920x1080). 
  • Assign the graphic to GFX1 or GFX2.


 

 

Assign Graphics to DSK (Down-Stream Keyers)

  • Locate the DSK section on the main interface. 
  • Use the dropdown menu to assign GFX1 or GFX2 to DSK1 or DSK2. 
  • Toggle DSK ON to display the graphic live.

 

Verify Graphic Placement on Program Output

•    Ensure the graphic displays in its intended position (logo, score bug, etc.) on the Program window or multiviewer.
•    Graphics should be pre-designed for proper placement (e.g., top-left for logos, lower-third for text).

 

Remove or Swap Graphics

•    To remove, toggle the DSK OFF.
•    To swap, load a new graphic in the GFX tab and reassign it to the DSK.

📷 Screenshot suggestion: Display a before-and-after example of the Program output with a graphic toggled ON and OFF.
