Operator Control View

The Operator Control view is a streamlined interface intended for the person running the show. It hides the composition editor and exposes only the tools needed to execute cues and manage playback.

• Click a cue to execute it immediately.
• Space or Go button advances to the next cue.

Sharing with the Operator

The control view is a standard web page — no installation needed on the operator's machine. Share the URL via your venue network. Any modern browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone works.

Security note: The control view has no built-in authentication. Use your network firewall or a VPN to restrict access to trusted devices.
