Video Flags

The Video Flag Status feature detects specific input signal changes (e.g., no signal or black screen) and automatically switches back to scheduled or default programming.

The video flag status is an advanced feature that identifies a specified change in signal from an input and seamlessly reverts to your scheduled program or weekly default when triggered, such as when a signal is lost at the conclusion of a live broadcast. This functionality is applicable to live input, recording, and live event captioning. This feature is part of the 5.5.0 software update (11-17-2022).
