Note: This version of the software does not provide a tool to insert a video screen into the layout. All of the Monitors available in the Monitor Browser include a video screen, and provide the convenience of source assignment using Channels, and the use of the full screen mode for video. A custom Monitor containing only a video screen could be created if it is needed, by editing an existing Monitor.
Where there are similar or related tools, they are grouped together to prevent tool bar clutter. Such a group can be identified by the arrow icon to the right of the tool icon. Clicking the tool icon selects that tool directly. Clicking the arrow opens the group and shows all the available options. Clicking on one selects it. When the tool is used, or if the group is closed by selecting another tool or clicking elsewhere in the window, the selected tool becomes the default tool for that group.
