MSE Playlist Panel
Media Sequencer Engine (MSE), is a Vizrt graphics server. When connected to Viz Mosart, the MSE Playlist panel displays thumbnails of MSE-stored graphics.
Each thumbnail behaves as a toggle switch, by clicking the thumbnail you set items from an MSE playlist on and off air to a Viz Engine.
-
The panel is designed for touch but also works with mouse.
-
All available playlists can be browsed.
Note: To be able to see thumbnails in the MSE Playlist, Viz Mosart must first be configured to find the MSE. See the Viz Mosart Administrator Guide, section Configuring the MSE Playlist Panel.
