Controlling Device State

You can set equipment to standby mode from the Viz Mosart UI, AV Automation or the Mosart Overlay Graphics Interface controllers and engines.

Placing a Device in Standby from Viz Mosart UI

All devices are available from the Viz Mosart UI.

Device Status

The status of devices, controllers and engines are indicated with a circular color code as follows:

  • Green: The device is connected and active

  • Yellow: The device is connected but in standby mode.

  • Red: There is a problem with connecting to the device.

In Mosart GUI, the color in the Standby menu bar changes if any of the AV Automation devices, OGI controllers, OGI Engines are not green.
For example:

  • When a device, controller or engine is in standby, yellow status is indicated in the menu bar.
