This is the first page of the settings window. It has four groups: language, display, safety and remote control. Leave Confirm before deleting switched on.
Language
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Language | English, Nederlands, Norsk, Deutsch or Español. Each language is listed in its own language. |
Most of the interface changes immediately, but a few texts are built only at startup and keep the old language until you restart.
The language is a setting of the computer and not of a rundown. See languages.
Display
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto-open groups while playing | Off, one level, or two levels. Opens a group automatically when the playout enters it. |
In a long rundown, this keeps the current block in view. With two levels, the program also opens a sub-group inside the group.
Safety & startup
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Confirm before deleting | Asks for confirmation before the program deletes a cue. |
| Reload last list on startup | Opens the rundown that you used last. |
| Hardware acceleration for web pages (after a restart) | Lets the built-in browser use the graphics card for web pages, YouTube and graphics. |
Leave the confirmation on. Ctrl+Z restores the last deletion, up to twenty steps, but the confirmation prevents mistakes such as deleting a whole block that was selected by accident.
Reload last list is suitable for a computer that runs one recurring show, and not for a computer that is used for something different each day.
Leave hardware acceleration on. Without it, moving pictures can stutter. Switch it off only when the program closes while a web page or a YouTube cue loads; after such a crash the program switches it off by itself at the next start.
Remote control
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Allow remote control | Allows a control panel to control this playout over the network. |
| Port | The port that panels connect to. |
| Require a password | Strongly recommended. |
| Password | With the buttons Show, New and Copy. |
This group appears only when the remote-control component is present. Port and Require a password appear when Allow remote control is ticked, and Password appears when Require a password is also ticked.
The settings in this group take effect at the next start, and the window shows this on the line. For the full description, see the remote connection.
