About A-LIST STREAMSTER …

Select this for information about the

currently installed application Version.

A-LIST features a large and versatile Program Display that is used for

monitoring the Program output, and for an operator to initiate several

manual real-time functions without having to make changes to the

Playlist. These include a

BUG

two independent Crawls

and

two

independent Text

layers.

Program / Preview Audio Monitoring

The Program audio from A-LIST will always be present on the output

you’ve selected, which will be either an NDI or RTMP stream.

In addition, you can monitor both Program and Preview output using

the system sound

Line Out connector

along with any other audio

present on the system’s (Windows) Volume Mixer. It’s generally useful to

connect headphones or powered speakers to the Line Out for flexibility

in monitoring the signals.

Click once on the icon

to open the menu.

When

No Computer Audio

is selected, the

headphones icon is GRAYED

OUT

, and no audio is sent to the Line Out connector.

When

Program to Computer Audio

is selected, the

headphones icon

turns RED

indicating that the output is monitoring the Program audio.

When

Preview to Computer Audio

is selected, the

headphones icon

turns GREEN

indicating that the output is monitoring the Preview audio.

Note

: after you’ve selected Program or Preview to Computer Audio, you can

then toggle back and forth by clicking on the red or green headphone icon

Bug On / Off (manual)

You can display a BUG (usually a ‘branding graphic’) at any time by

clicking once

on the BUG button. It will illuminate (glow RED) and the

currently selected graphic - a PNG file - will fade on.

Click again

to turn

off the BUG. The button will dim out, and the currently displayed

graphic will fade off.

Note

: If AUTO-BUG is enabled it will automatically control the selection and

lumination of this button.
