Main View

The main view is the primary UI of the Reeltime Viewer app and lets you view the available local streams in various layouts. You can configure a screen layout with 1, 2, 3 or 4 viewers. Each viewer can display a local stream from a connected Reeltime Pro server.

An “options panel” provides access to all options available within the viewers and consists of the following elements:

  • Indicates if the received signal derives from a Live, Playback, or Reference slot mode

• Stream name

• • Derives from the output slot name in Reeltime Pro

• Configured source slot
