Media Sequencer (MSE), is a Vizrt graphics server.
The MSE Playlist panel offers active (touch or click-sensitive) thumbnails of graphics held on an MSE.
Each thumbnail behaves as a toggle switch, by clicking the thumbnail you set items from an MSE playlist on and off air to a Viz Engine.
The panel is designed for touch but also works with mouse.
All available playlists can be browsed.
Note: To see thumbnails in the MSE Playlist, Viz Mosart must first be configured to find the MSE. The Connection to MSE section below also covers the basics of this topic.
See also the Viz Mosart Administrator Guide, section Manus Administrator Configuration > Configuring the MSE Playlist Panel for more details.

A folder can contain additional folders, as well as playlist elements which can be played out.
Use the scrollbar and arrows to navigate all folders.
The squares in the lower right indicate position in the list of assets.
Use Hide folders to make more room for items.
