Cropping outline
Displays the set cropping area. Up to 4 areas can be set. When set, numbers are automatically assigned and displayed on the top left of the cropping area. When setting an area, the selected area is outlined in red. Other areas are outlined in white. A cropping outline in the default position is configured in advance.
The cropping outline position can be moved by clicking and holding the configured frame and then moving it.
Clicking on the outside of the outline adds a new outline. Newly added outlines are selected.
Streams that are configured in cropping use the same cropping area as the [Cropping] display. Therefore, if the cropping outline is changed, the cropping area of streams configured in cropping are changed according to the settings of the cropping outline.

Using a maximum of 4 cropping outlines, determine whether or not to operate the sequence from the following settings. The sequence operates in the order of the numbers assigned to the cropping outlines.

Default: Off
[Clear] button
The selected outlines displayed in red are deleted. When the selected outline is deleted, the outline with the lowest number is selected. If the [Clear] button is clicked when there is only 1 outline, the outline is moved to the default position. If the [Clear] button is clicked when there is only 1 outline and it is in the default position, the outline is not deleted.
[Set] button
Applies the outline and sequence settings.
