Switching / mixing using the Admin panel

Switching live video inputs, or video mixing, is fast and easy using the Admin panel. For best results, you may
wish to be in a location where you can see the live action, and have a solid understanding idea of what is in each
of your layouts. Good layout names can help with this. See
