Keyboard Shortcuts

  • The Shortcut Keys area is by default across the bottom of the Viz Mosart GUI, displaying any configured shortcut keys.

  • Keyboard combinations can include CTRL, ALT and SHIFT to present additional keyboard shortcuts.

    Note: The example above shows how the Viz Mosart UI mimics a standard computer keyboard with the key label shown under the rectangles. Key labels on your keyboard may be different.

  • Skip to section On Air Shortcut Operations to learn about using shortcuts whilst a show is running.

Button Details

Each button presents its operation and status details.

Button Detail

Description

Text

The naming on the button displays the text entered in the Keyboard Shortcuts Editor. Alternatively, if the button is bound to some NRCS content, it can display the corresponding NRCS slug.

Label (below)

The characters at the base of the button identifies which keyboard button is controlling the operation named on the button.

Color

The color (button color or stripe at the base of the button) corresponds to the template to be taken.
For example, in the large screenshot above:

  • LIVE 1, LIVE 2, LIVE 3 (keyboard numbers 1, 2, 3) are red, corresponding to Live templates.

  • L3 Viz trio A/Viz trio A (keyboard +), has a yellow stripe, corresponding to a Lower Third template.

  • Other operational shortcuts (for example TAKE NEXT, keyboard F12), not related to a template, have a solid gray background, with no additional color coding.

Luminosity

A dimmed button is non-operational. This button status means that Viz Mosart is awaiting NRCS content (not yet received).

For example, in the large screenshot above, LIVE (button F5) is dimmed (compare with the active LIVE 1, 2 and 3).

Status


Color-coding also indicates status:

  • Red border : Template is on-air.

  • Red border, label highlighted: Button is selected, template is on-air.

  • Blue border, label highlighted: The button is selected.

Context Menu

images/download/thumbnails/149915015/image-2023-9-18_12-55-30-1.png

Right-clicking over a keyboard shortcut displays a context menu.

Note: Importing an existing keyboard shortcuts file into a newer version of Viz Mosart may give unexpected operational behavior.

It is highly recommended to verify keyboard-driven operations after an upgrade, and as necessary, redefine the shortcuts, before going on-air.

The availability and actions of this menu depend on preferences set in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu (Tools > Keyboard shortcuts editor)

  • Clear: Remove the session-based (show-based) button definition from this Viz Mosart session.
    This option is only available for buttons that have not been hard-defined from the Keyboard Shortcuts menu.
    Buttons that are not hard-defined appear as grey/dark grey in the UI. A light grey box can be populated with a session-based button definition (for example by drag and dropping a template or lower third from the Assets panel, see the screenshot below).

    These session-based button definitions disappear when the UI is restarted.

  • Reset: Temporarily remove the wording on a button, to discourage selecting the defined operation (for example a camera number).
    This does not clear the operation definition, which will still be executed if the button is pressed. Restart the UI to display the button text again.

Administration status

In the Viz Mosart UI menu Tools > Keyboard shortcuts editor,

Blue border: The button is being worked on using the Keyboard Shortcuts Editor .
