An Eject button at the top-right corner of the page allows you to safely disconnect external drives. (Drives
can also be ejected from the Live Desktop. )
Note: Media configured as Read Only is not shown for the New or Open (session) features, since they cannot
be used for sessions. However, Read Only media can be used for import purposes.

NDI KVM
KVM is an abbreviation for "keyboard, video and mouse". You will notice an NDI KVM menu just left of the
Eject button.
This feature leverages NewTek’s NDI ® protocol to provide superb KVM functionality, giving
you complete control your system from anywhere on the network where you can run the Windows version
of NDI Studio Monitor.
See Appendix A: (Exclusive Features) for more detail about this feature.
OPEN (SESSION)
If there are existing sessions on the system, the main menu at left on the Home Page will default to Open
(Figure 37). Clicking Open causes the Sessions List to appear at right. This pane lists all sessions stored on
currently mounted storage media.
