ViewControl
The ViewControl interface through DashBoard allows
you to coordinate control of the Carbonite switcher,
XPression Live Graphics System, and the BlackStorm™
Playout Server all through a touchscreen interface.
Through ViewControl you can select sources, perform
transitions, and run custom controls.

ViewControl requires DashBoard 5.1, or later.
Only the sources assigned to the MultiViewer
boxes are available for direct selection. Custom
controls can be used to select other sources.
A running custom control, or a custom control that
is paused or held, are not shown on the
ViewControl interface.
The control panel does not follow key and bus
selections made on ViewControl.

Keyer Transition Buttons
The Keyer Transition buttons allow you to perform a cut
or dissolve of the keys on the Program bus, without
having to include them as part of the next transition.
These buttons act the same as the Keyer Transition
Buttons on the control panel.
Tip: The Cut buttons turn red when a key is on-air.
ViewControl Overview
The ViewControl interface provides quick access to a
number of custom control buttons as well as the transition
functionality of the switcher.
Custom Control Buttons
The custom control buttons can be assigned to any
custom control on the switcher and given unique names
and icons. The button groups on the left (shown below)
are organized into groups, or tabs.

Transition Buttons
The transition buttons allow you to select what is
included in the next transition, what type of transition is
to be performed, and perform the transition. These
buttons function similarly to the buttons in the Transition
Area on the control panel.
Tip: The Transition Buttons on ViewControl only control the
transition area of ME 2. To control ME 1 you can create a
custom control to perform the effect you want and assign it to
one of the custom control buttons.

and press the MultiViewer box for the source you want
to select. For example, to select camera 1 on ME 2 Key
3, press M2 K3 and then press the box for the camera 1
