Workspaces
Further expanding your monitor capabilities, workspaces have been added to offer independent
display control on all of your connected monitors. Every monitor can have up to three workspaces,
identified by the workspace icons in the upper left corner of any monitor (including any integrated
touchscreens with your console).
You can use [Tab] + [Page
] and [Tab] + [Page
] to cycle through the workspaces. This will
increment or decrement the current workspace and will then force all of the other workspaces to
match the current workspace’s number (1, 2, or 3). This is so you can quickly step through the
workspaces.
Workspaces 1, 2, and 3
These three monitor icons are used to switch between each monitor’s available workspaces. Each
can be set up to include any of the desired layout, displays, and controls
options offered on the
Home Screen (
) or the Display Controls Screen (
Frames
Each workspace can have up to four frames in its layout. The number of frames in a workspace
layout is determined by choosing from the Layout Options (
) offered in the Home Screen
(
) or the Monitor Options Screen (
Tabs
Any frame can have multiple tabs open. Tabs are now broken down into two categories: Control
and Display. Control tabs (see
for a list of tabs) are the virtual control options that were
formerly available in the browser, such as the color picker and the virtual keyboard. Display tabs
(see
for a list of tabs) are the various displays available on the console, such as the
playback status display and the park display.
You can open or close tabs using the Display Icons (
), or all of the
methods used in previous versions of software. Pressing [Shift] + [Tab] once will clear all tabs on
the selected monitor but tabs in locked frames will remain. Pressing [Shift] + [Tab] twice will clear
all tabs on all monitors but tabs in locked frames will remain. Pressing [Shift] + [Tab] a third time
will clear all tabs on all monitors including those in locked frames.
White text in the tab indicates a Display Tab, and magenta
text indicates a Control Tab.
All Display and Control Tabs have fixed tab numbering
under which they open (for example, “Live” opens under Tab 1, “Patch” under Tab 12, and “Color
Picker” under Tab 27). These numbers are identified on the Home Screen in each icon and in the
following table. For multiple instances of the same display, the tab number will be followed with a
decimal number. Additional tabs will start their numbering with n.2. When you press [Tab], active
focus will move numerically through all open tabs on active workspaces.
N o t e :
Using just the [Tab] key to cycle through tabs will skip over any Control Tabs in
locked frames. Pressing [Tab] [n] will select the tab regardless of if it is in a locked
frame or not.
