Launcher Interface
Launcher Module consists of the following sections:
- Launch Configurations: The section where you can Add and Delete a launch configuration. Changing the Configuration Mode, launching, stopping, and re-timing an engine also occurs inside the Launch Configuration section.
- Renderers: It is the section where you can specify the details of your project to be rendered.
User Interface Elements
- Filter: A tool used to refine the search results of launch configurations.
- Name: The name of the launch configuration. It is editable and must be unique for each configuration.
- Status: The status indicator provides information on the current operational state of the Engine or Engine Groups, visually conveying their availability. This icon is a crucial tool for understanding the Engine(s) status. Also, see Engine Status Colors
- Mode:
- Live Mode
Updated
: This mode is designed to prevent certain operations during a live event that might cause unwanted interference. In Live Mode, all nodegraph and actions operations—such as adding, deleting, or modifying nodes, adjusting connections, and performing Action module tasks—are disabled. This change reduces potential disruptions and enhances processing efficiency during live sessions. Form Builder operations are similarly restricted to prevent unintended changes. Advanced Preview Monitor is also disabled in Live Mode to prioritize system resources for real-time operations. - Configuration Mode: This mode has no operation restrictions; you can use all licensed features without limitation.
