THE DASHBOARD
The Dashboard groups important production features and system display controls in
one convenient place for quick access and review. As well, the Dashboard serves to
provide information on the current session, status updates and storage usage, along
with timecode and the Macros and Options menu.
The
Dashboard
is home to several important displays, tools and controls. Prominently located at the very top
of the
Live Desktop
, the
Dashboard
occupies the full width of the screen.

Initially, to avoid overwhelming users, the left end of the
Dashboard
