The viewports for Media Players (Figure 125) show handy transport control in the label area – from left to
right Previous, Play/Stop, and Next. In addition, a progress gauge is shown in the background to show the
playhead position and warning colors as playback nears its end.
Hint: When LiveMatte, Proc Amp, or Crop settings are active for a source, the configuration gear gadget for a
viewport is color coded and shown full-time.
SECTION 10.6 PROGRAM MONITOR
The Program Output monitor could hardly be more important, hence it’s prominent default location at upper-
right on the Live Desktop.

Normally, this viewport shows what the Switcher is sending to Program output at any moment. The display
includes the BKGD video layer as well as any other video layers (such as one or more DSKs, or FTB) displayed
above it.
Note: By default, Program output is sent to the MIX 1 output, subject to assignments made in the Output
Configuration pane. When you move your mouse pointer over the Program monitor, a Configure button (gear)
appears at lower right. Clicking this button opens the Configuration panel (see Section 8.2).
SECTION 10.7 LOOK AHEAD PREVIEW
Again, by default, the Live Desktop also prominently displays
the Look Ahead Preview monitor (labeled simply Preview).
The Look Ahead Preview is versatile and powerful. Instead of
showing just one video source (the Preview row selection), it
displays what the outcome of a Take operation applied to all
currently delegated video layers would be.
