Compere UI for Devices

Selected items can be used multiple times and are added undocked. Closing or undocking any these elements in a workspace does not lose any content. They can be used independently, for example on separate displays.

➢See Compere Workspaces

Nodes
Add a Nodes assembly panel into the workspace.

A node is any device or processing block. They are introduced into a Nodes panel to create the connections between them.

Canvas
Add a Canvas assembly panel into the workspace.

A canvas is an assembly of Juggler canvas outputs and canvas windows into a map of pixels being processed by Juggler systems.

➢See Configure a Display with Jugglers

Project
Add a Project panel into the workspace.

This panel itemises every element of a Compere project: all devices, inputs, outputs and their connections, everything added to the project, from canvases to input and output feeds, and all assets in use on timelines.

➢See Project Panel

Properties
Add a Properties Panel to the workspace.

Properties panels reveal all properties and settings, to read or edit, for selected items. A Properties panel can be locked to the selected item, allowing other properties panels to be opened to show other selections.

Logs
Open live log messages. See Logs and Diagnostics.

Resources
Add a Resources Panel to the Layout

Task Tracker
Open a process progress Task Tracker Panel.

Warp Mapping
Two tabs list Region Sets and Virtual Canvas Presets. Used with ST maps in Actor, to create picture-in-picture (PiP) regions over an overall canvas (contiguous display area). See Actor User Guide.

Visualise
Add a 3D Visualise assembly panel to the Layout. This is a feature of Compere not covered by this Guide.

Timeline
An Actor panel for constructing timelines. See the Actor User Guide.

Timeline Preview
A timeline preview can be achieved locally by running two instances of Compere: one for the UI and the other as a server (minimal playback interface only). See Running Multiple Instances of Compere.

Input Feeds
An Actor panel for applying viewports to timelines.

Output Feeds
An Actor panel for positioning viewports on device outputs.

Asset Management
Interacts with the Asset Logistics database to organise timeline assets and make them available. See the Actor User Guide.

Reset UI
Restore the default Compere workspace. Note: this will overwrite any workspace you have created and saved. under this name.

Custom Web Panels

Browser control interfaces can be created (for example in Medialon) using web panels on remote devices. These can be replicated in Compere as custom web panels, connected to the page URLs.

Access to Custom Web Panels is provided by creating a JSON file ‘CustomWebPanels.json’ for them, and locating it in the local (typically C:\) %localappdata%/Compere older. This file is read once at start-up, so Compere will need to be restarted to refresh the Panels menu.

Where this file exists, the panel name(s) listed in the file will be reflected in the panels menu.

Here is an example of the file contents, containing 3 groups, to deliver: a "Show Control" set containing 7thSense website pages", a "Search Engines" set of typical SE pages, and a set containing any number of other useful URLs. Note the comma separators between elements.
