Trio Box CG Mode

This section details how to configure the Trio Box CG (Character Generator) platform of Viz Artist/Engine (see Viz Artist/Engine Platforms).

Trio Box CG mode is a video version with, typically, one program and one preview output (fill and key on two channels). To support program and preview output this option requires two graphics cards.

Once installed and configured, use Viz Trio to control the Viz Engines.
