The On Air interface may vary, depending on the software and hardware configuration used. In Viz Artist, designers can click the On Air button on the main menu to switch Viz Artist from a modeling tool to a render engine. The application then waits for control commands; however, scene animations can also be rendered by the use of the Control Buttons (top-left corner).

The top left of the On Air screen shows a set of Control Buttons, as well as a Performance bar button. Depending on the software and hardware settings, additional buttons and information are available.

This section contains information on the following topics:

• Director Control Pane
• Control Buttons
• Performance
• On Air Information Panel
• License Information
