EXPRESS SWITCHER MODE

FIGURE 55

In a related innovation, an alternative

Switcher

interface provides new opportunities to customize both the

interface and workflow. The Switcher’s

Express

mode is very compact, freeing valuable

Live Desktop

space.

Viewports in the multiview area above are significantly larger than in the more familiar two row
(Program/Preview)

Switcher

mode.

Too,

Express

mode (Figure 55

) provides a simple ‘single

-

click’ workflow, ideal for less complex productions,

when a control surface is in use, or in environments involving student or volunteer operators who may
struggle with traditional switcher workflows.

FIGURE 56

You can easily switch between the standard

Switcher

mode and

Express

operating modes by clicking their

eponymous tabs at right in the horizontal bar just above the

DSK

controls.

For more information on these two modes of operation, see Chapter 9, Switcher, Transitions and Overlay.
Several additional workflow and interface options are hosted in the

Options

menu, which we will discuss

shortly (in Section 7.1).
