Live Output View
The Live Output View is a monitoring panel that shows what every output is doing right now — which clip is playing, its state, loudness and per-channel levels.
Opening the View
Section titled “Opening the View”Toggle it from Menu → View → Live Output View, or from the Live Output View button in the header bar. The view opens as a panel over the clip grid; close it with the Close button or the same toggle.
What Each Output Shows
Section titled “What Each Output Shows”Each output (A, B, C …) gets a column containing:
- Output letter — the output’s badge, matching the clip grid.
- Clip name — the clip currently playing on that output.
- State pills — indicators such as LOOP (clip is in a loop block), TTL with a countdown (see Time to Loop, below), PAUSED, or WARN when something needs attention.
- LUFS pill — loudness metering for the output (see below).
- Vertical level meters — one bar per channel with L/R labels for stereo, and proper labels for surround channels (e.g. LFE). Bars are zoned green / orange / red by level, with a static ghost meter behind the live bars so you can judge recent peaks at a glance.
Time to Loop
Section titled “Time to Loop”Before a clip enters its loop block, its card shows a Time to Loop badge with a countdown (TTL 0:04, shortened to TTL on the live view’s compact pills) so you can see exactly how long until the loop starts. Once the clip is actually looping, the badge switches to the LOOP pill.
The same clip cards — on the main grid, the live view, and Stream Deck — also show a conic progress sweep ring around the card that tracks playback position in real time, including through skip jumps and loop exits, so you can judge how far through a clip or loop you are at a glance.
Loudness Metering (R128)
Section titled “Loudness Metering (R128)”Each output is metered in momentary LUFS to EBU R128, zoned against the −23 LUFS broadcast target:
- Green — at or below target.
- Orange — approaching/above target.
- Red — well over target.
Colors blend smoothly through the thresholds rather than snapping. Use the pill as your quick calibration check that the show is sitting at a sane level.
Test Tone
Section titled “Test Tone”Right-click an output column and choose Start Test Tone to send a line-up tone down that output — useful for checking routing and levels into a desk or downstream chain. Choose Stop Test Tone to end it.
Layout
Section titled “Layout”With more than 6 outputs the view wraps the columns into two balanced rows, so a 12-output setup stays readable.
