Immediately to the left of the timeline is the patchbay. The patchbay contains options that affect each track.
These options are described in great detail in the Editing section (\ref{sec:patchbay}).
-The \textit{Window} pulldown on the main window contains options that affect the 4 main windows. The first 3 options are used to display each of the windows in case one was accidentally closed. You can
-move or resize the windows as needed, save that particular layout, and revert to the default positions
-to reposition all 4 windows to the original screen configuration.
-On dual headed displays, the \textit{Default positions} operation only uses the one monitor to display the windows, but as you
-can see in the \textit{Window} pulldown you have more options to change that. Usage with dual monitors is
-explained in \ref{sec:multiscreen_playback_configuration}.

Dragging in the timeline with the LMB pressed down, highlights a selected region and this is the region that is affected by cut

Holding down the Shift key while clicking in the timeline extends the highlighted region.
The speed automation causes the playback sampling rate to increase or decrease to a period controlled by the speed automation curve.
This can make playback speed-up or slow-down according to the scaled sampling rate, as \textit{time is multiplied by speed} (Speed $\times$ Unit\_rate). For more information on changing

\item Start by shrinking the projector to $z=0,500$ ($\frac{1}{4}$ of the original frame).
- \item The next step is to switch to the camera and note that the green box has assumed the size of the projector, i.e. the red box. The value of $z$ of the camera is always equal to $1,000$ (default) but the frame is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the original frame, i.e. it has the size of the projector that has $z=0,500$. This is the current viewport size.

This is the current viewport size.
\item You enlarge the room bringing $z=2,000$. You can see that the dimensions of the viewport (green box) do not change, remaining the same as those of the projector. However, the frame has been enlarged and this variation is indicated by the enlargement of the yellow box. Let's remember that this follows the changes made with the camera tool.
\item We can drag the room so that we can center the frame to our liking. The movement of the yellow box shows well the variation compared to the green box.
\item Finally, if we want, we can switch to the projector tool to move the output frame to the position we want with respect to the size of the source. Of course, we can also work on the $z$, which in the example is at $z=0.500$, if we have decided to change the size of the output.
There are 4 shapes that are automatically available for usage as masks – square, circle, triangle, and oval. In addition, the next 3 symbols in this section are for the purpose of loading, saving, and deleting your own customized shapes. The first symbol, \textit{Load} preset, will bring up a list of your previously saved presets. Clicking on \textit{Save} preset brings up a popup window allowing you to provide a name used to identify the preset you want to save, along with a pulldown to see the names of your other saved presets. Clicking on \textit{Delete} preset also brings up a textbox with a pulldown to choose which one to delete. There is a file, called \texttt{mask\_rc}, in \texttt{\$HOME/.bcast5} that records your custom masks.
-When you click \textit{Load} preset, keep in mind that it will write the mask number that you have selected so if you already have a mask at that location, it will write over it – just \textit{Undo mask} under the main window Edit pulldown (shortcut 'z') to revert to the previous if you made this mistake.
