Chapter 5 Using the Monitor Pane
Monitor pane overview
The Monitor pane allows you to monitor channel status and the video and audio on
the record and play channels. It also allows you to launch control applications, such
as Recorder, Player, and Playlist on the channels. The Monitor pane has two display
modes: split-screen and full screen.
• To view the monitor pane, press Monitor in the AppCenter toolbar.
The Monitor pane is composed of four channel monitors, which represent the two
record channels and the two play channels. The channels are named R1, P1, R2, P2.
The selected channel monitor is highlighted, which indicates the active channel. In
split-screen, the four channels are displayed side by side in the upper pane. The
following table describes the controls and indicators used in the Monitor pane.
