During live production, the Dashboard and as well as monitor panes and default Multiview layouts offer
Broadcast Clock displays based on the current timecode. Secondary clock displays show a useful countdown
to the (production) Start and End times when the corresponding switches are enabled in the Timecode
Configuration panel.
SECTION 7.6
NOTIFICATIONS
The last item at right on the Dashboard is the Notification icon (Figure 64 ). A ‘number bubble’ indicates how
many un-viewed entries have accumulated. Clicking the icon displays the Notification Pane , which provides
both helpful information and also some very useful tools.
The Notification icon can be colored white, green, amber or red. The color
indicates the type of messages available for review:
• A green icon denotes an informative message, as well as the
availability of new media.
• An amber icon indicates a warning message has been received.
• Higher priority alert messages are denoted by a red icon.
The highest priority (un-viewed) item in the list at the
moment determines the
Notification
icon color. After you open the panel to
review the notifications in the list, the
icon turns white.
Individual items can be cleared from
the list using the context menu
opened with the triangle gadget
shown at right when you roll the
mouse over an entry, or you can
empty the list with one click using the
Clear All button in the footer of the
panel.
Information appearing in the
Notification Pane can include the
following:
• Session name, format, and software build number (press Alt + b on the keyboard to update this item)
• Status messages pertaining to operations or system conditions; these may be benign notifications or
cautionary. For example, a message indicating that the connection to a control surface has been lost
is given an icon with an amber color. A higher priority warning triggers a message with a red icon.
