Sourceview
Introduction
Sourceview presents a customizable view of sources, laid out on a configurable canvas.
-
Supports live streams using NDI sources within the same subnet.
-
You can set an HTML page or a NDI stream with a live video feed from a multiviewer as background of the entire Sourceview and create transparent source boxes on the top layer.
-
Sourceview can be used to select sources and assign them to either Program or Preview Window or to Template Router destinations.
-
Sourceview harmonizes with the Template panel, which can be configured for specific templates requiring a source input.
