Miscellaneous viewer controls

At the upper-right of the viewer are controls to select <Split-screen> or <Picture-in-picture> view when multiple players are active. At the extreme right is an <Info> button that displays Volicon Media Intelligence service hotkeys. Lastly, if only a single player is active, the <CC> icon is displayed; this enables you to view timestamped CC text to the right of the player.

Click on the <Copy to clipboard> icon to paste the CC text into your computer’s clipboard. Depending on which browser you are using, this may require the installation of Adobe Flash. Volicon Media Intelligence service displays an alert at the top of the page once the text has been successfully copied.

Once copied to the clipboard, you can paste the text into another document.

Keyboard hotkeys

In addition to the on-screen icons, many viewer functions can be controlled via keyboard hotkeys. This is often more convenient than using the mouse for common operations. Pressing the <Information> button at the top-right of the player window opens the “Hotkey info” page.
