Apple added an orange dot that’s a showstopper for live visuals

My temporary fix has been to use an expensive hardware scaler to crop the output when I run into this. You’d think Apple would have plenty of production experts beta testing, I’m sure this will eventually affect their own live events.

Mic input is very useful for receiving timecode to keep production gear in sync.

Yeah, I considered that when I was reading the article. If your content can still look alright being scaled, that'll work. There is definitely some content that won't be quite so forgiving, though.

You’re right. To clarify I’m blacking out the top X pixels to hide the dot, not scaling.

There's a built in accessibility zoom feature in macos, can it also crop out the dot?
