3.5 3PLAY DESKTOP

Clicking New Session (or Open Session) in the Administration Screen presents the 3P

LAY

Desktop

(Figure 3), which provides monitoring as well as numerous event management features.

Figure 3

As mentioned in Section 3.3, 3P

LAY

’s Standard Desktop is designed for use with the external 3P-

10 control surface. This mode of operation maximizes screen space available for event
management.

Hint: A ‘Desktop Dashboard’ appears automatically if you launch 3P

LAY

in the absence of the 3P-

10 control surface. This adds marking, slow motion, and event transport controls to the interface
(at the expense of a little screen space).

If you like, you can opt to display the Dashboard at all times by enabling a switch in System
Preferences (Administration Screen) – see Section 6.3.3.
