Available resources on the network are listed in this area. There are 2 tabs in this section:

  • Devices in use in the selected system.
  • Discovered devices on the local network.
2System diagram area

The workspace has two different views: System, Detail, and VPU Resource.

The selected systems details are graphically represented in this area. To view a different system you select the corresponding tab from the top of the working area.

3System modifier area

System information (Host VP and Unit ID) is displayed in this area. To view a different system you select the corresponding tab from the top of the working area.

This area also includes controls for preset conflicts.

4Adjustment area

There are several panels in this area: Destination, Output, MVR, Input, Background, Custom Format, EDID Files, External Devices, and HDR Files. Each panel displays the list of items currently defined in the system. The user can also add or delete and define more items. The adjust tab allows the user to adjust variables in each panel.

Panels can be dragged up or down to allow faster manipulation.

5Bottom bar

The right side of the bottom bar has control for windows and maximizing the screen. The number indicates if this is window 1 or 2, two is the maximum.

Click on the information icon to show a list of the last 100 status-bar messages.

Add a window by clicking the + Window button. The second window can be used on a separate screen.

The out and in arrow button maximizes the interface to the screen, allowing an “OS free” look.
