Procedure to enable blackout

To enable blackout

  1. In the Profile or Event screen, go down to the Global Processors section and complete the following fields:

    • Blackout Image Insertion: Click to turn on. The Blanking Image field appears.

    • Blanking Image: Specify a .bmp or .png file to use for the blanking. If you leave this field empty, a plain black image is inserted.

  2. If you want to enable network end blackout (in other words, blank content when network transmission has ended and remove blanking only when network transmission resumes), complete these fields:

    • Enable Network End Blackout: Selected.

    • Network ID: The Entertainment Identifier Registry (EIDR) ID of the network in the format 10.nnnn/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-c (case- insensitive). Only network end events with this ID trigger blackout.

    • Network End Blackout Image: Specify a .bmp or .png file to use for the blanking. If you leave this field blank, a plain black image is inserted.
