The On Air interface may vary, depending on the software and hardware configuration used. In Viz Artist, designers can click the On Air button on the main menu to switch Viz Artist from a modeling tool to a render engine. The application will then wait for control commands; however, scene animations can also be rendered by the use of the Control Buttons (top-left corner).

The top left of the On Air screen shows a set of Control Buttons, as well as a Performance bar button. All License Information is shown at the top right of the screen.

Depending on the software and hardware settings, additional buttons and information is available. For example in design mode, the scene will be shown in an output window (lower right).

All script events that are added to a scene or to single containers will be executed in On Air mode. To learn more about scripting see the script documentation.
