Channel dashboard

The viewer tab gives you access to the Channel dashboard, which lists all the video channel(s) to which you have been allowed access. Clicking the triangle at the upper right of the Channels heading expands/contracts the channel pane. For quick access to a particular video channel, click the checkbox beside the desired channel. MIS will open that stream in the Player Window.

The filter feature at the top of the dashboard provides a quick way to restrict the channel display by typing in the desired channel name into the Filter text box. MIS then displays only channels that match the string. You do not have to enter the entire channel name.

To set a channel favorite hover over the favorite icon to the right of the desired channel and left click to turn it gold . Left click again toggles it back to grey. To restrict the dashboard to your favorites click the <Show Favorites>.

The <Show only selected channels> feature works in a similar manner, restricting dashboard to only selected channels. To select a channel check the box to the left of the channel name.

The Channel dashboard displays all the video streams available to you. To display a video stream in the player window click the check box for the channel or channels you wish to display. The icon to the right of the channel name displays the input type and if the channel is selected as a favorite.

MIS automatically adjusts for different aspect ratios and resizes player windows if multiple streams are selected. Audio is enabled on the first stream selected and disabled on subsequent streams. To enable audio on a different video stream, click on the desired player window. The stream with active audio is indicated with a blue background in the channel dashboard and the channel name changes from white to blue in the player.
