The Viz button refers to the currently configured Viz Engine preview channel and its Graphic Hub connection. If you click the Viz button, Director shows the different scenes, images, objects, materials and fonts available to Viz Engine.

The Viz panel (also called the treeview browser) also has a range of buttons and tabs that display different views of different items and objects available to Viz Engine. The display area shows the directory and the contents of the currently selected folder. Options for refreshing the views and sorting the order of the listed items are described below.

Note: Viz images can be played out as fullscreen stillstore images; however, this requires a still store scene. See Working with Stillstore Images.
