Some of these items are so important that they rate their own chapters. Others are detailed in various
sections of this guide (cross references to the relevant sections of the manual are provided above). In this
chapter, we’ll f ocus on those Dashboard features not discussed in greater depth elsewhere.
SECTION 7.1 FILE MENU
This menu drops down to reveal the following items:
• Eject – opens a sub-menu that lets you safely disconnect selected storage volumes
• Import – easily add media files from external sources to the appropriate session folders, and
automatically transcode them to friendly formats for optimal playback if necessary. ( Import Bin
features are similar to those of the Publish Bin .)
• Share Media Folders and Buffers (see Section 11.3)
• Exit – close your live production session, and return to the Session page of the Launch Screen (all
session settings are stored on exiting)
SECTION 7.2
OPTIONS MENU
A number of very useful interface and workflow options are presented in the Options menu.
• Tabs Follow
o Enable Follow Preview Row for All Inputs to display the tabbed pane for a Preview row source
automatically on selection changes (for M/E selections, the M/E pane must be maximized in
order to see the M/E tab update).
o When Tabs Follow Preview for M/Es is checked, only the M/E pane selection updates (when
you select an M/E as source on Preview ).
o Tabs Follow All Delegates updates the Desktop in sync with control surface delegate changes.
Hint: Control surface delegate operations can sometimes result in a tabbed module that you want to view
being obscured when certain options are enabled. When this happens, press the control surface Delegate
button again to re-display the tabbed pane you are interest in.
