Double-click on any of these nodes to open a window for controlling that specific area of functionality.

  • Status — provides a read only overview of the state of a number of important switcher components and equipment
  • Configuration — provides a graphical interface to switcher settings such as Reference, Inputs, Outputs, and MultiViewer
  • Live Assist — provides a graphical interface to functions such as keying, transition, and memory settings of the switcher
  • Custom Control — provides a graphics interface for recording, editing, and running custom controls
  • ViewControl — allows you to coordinate the control over the Carbonite switcher, XPression Live Graphics System, and the BlackStorm Playout Server all through a touchscreen interface
  • MediaManager — allows you to connect to the MediaManager web interface from within DashBoard
  • Panel — provides you with a graphical interface to the menu system and control surfaces of the switcher. This allows you to setup and control the switcher without a control panel.
Tip: Click Menu at the bottom right of the window and select to node you want to view without having to go to the tree view. Access to the ViewControl is not available in this menu.
