Switching / mixing using the Admin panel

Switching live video inputs, or video mixing, is fast and easy using the Admin panel. For best results, you may
wish to be in a location where you can see the live action, and have a solid understanding idea of what is in
each of your layouts. Good layout names can help with this. See

Rename a layout

.

Performing live switching using one interface, like the Admin panel, does not dynamically
update the visuals in the other interfaces (e.g. the touch screen and Epiphan Live). The
other interfaces must be manually refreshed to accurately reflect the current live switching
layout information.

To do live video mixing:

 1. Login to the Admin panel as

admin

, see

Connect to the Admin panel

.

 2. From the Channels menu, select a channel and click

Layouts

. The layout editor page opens.

 3. In the layouts list, the layout with the big red circle beside it is the currently chosen "live" layout.
