Sourceview

Introduction

Sourceview presents a customizable view of sources, laid out on a configurable canvas.

  • Supports live streams using NDI sources within the same subnet.

  • You can set an HTML page or a NDI stream with a live video feed from a multiviewer as background of the entire Sourceview and create transparent source boxes on the top layer.

  • Sourceview can be used to select sources and assign them to either Program or Preview Window or to Template Router destinations.

  • Sourceview harmonizes with the Template panel, which can be configured for specific templates requiring a source input.

Working with Sourceview

  • Open Sourceview as a floating window by selecting View > Floating windows > Sourceview.

NDI Stream

  • Any available NDI streams are selectable the drop-down. A Sourceview item has the same workflow without an NDI stream.

  • If Program or Preview is selected, clicking Apply to Program will assign the NDI stream to the program window.
    The same applies to Preview. The program and preview source should be a NDI stream of the program and preview mixer output.

    Note: It is also possible to use a static html page to show the output. This can be configured in General settings

Resizing and Moving

    If the resize icon is disabled the items are selectable, but they cannot be moved or change size.

Assigning a Source to Program or Preview

    A selected source has a solid color as title background instead of the otherwise white background. Program and Preview have a dotted line to indicate that the selected source can be assigned.
