By default, the device views in Multi-Device layout are named D

D

views by assigning them a new name, right-click on the K

Once a device is added to the Active Device table, you can complete the remaining
properties associated with each of the Device Views:
• K
EYER
: The keyer value tells Xplay on which layer of the output device to playout the
playlist element (0 is the bottom-most level).
• Preview: (Optional) Assigns a device from the Device Configuration table to be a
preview device. This allows you to preview the playout of a playlist item when it is cued
and then playout on the assigned device when it is taken to air. Like an output device,
the preview device’s name and connection status LED are displayed in the Device
View’s toolbar.
