Wave View
The wave view graphically displays the current wave or MP3 channel to ease in event synchronization. It is especially useful for lip sync.
VSA will load the audio in the background while you continue to work; while the audio is loading, a gray bar will be shown. Only the audio channel selected in the Audio Settings dialog is displayed, but all sources and channels are played. See Choosing Audio Synchronization for more information about how VSA maintains device output timing.
Video View
The video view graphically displays the current video file to ease in event synchronization.
VSA will load the video in the background while you continue to work; while the audio is loading, a gray box will be shown. Only the video file selected in the Video Settings dialog is displayed, but all sources and channels are played.
