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), 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.
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.
