Sessions & Multi-Output

A session in On Air represents a single broadcast output — for example, a TV channel, a streaming endpoint, or a playout instance. Each session operates independently with its own standby and live graphics.

Session basics

Each session has two columns:

ColumnPurpose
StandbyThe graphic is loaded and ready. Edit fields before going live.
LiveThe graphic is currently on air. Fields cannot be edited while live.

Sessions appear as expandable accordions in the bottom-right area of the On Air interface.

Working with a session

Loading a graphic

  1. Find the graphic in the sidebar (left panel).
  2. Drag it into the session’s standby slot.
  3. The graphic preview loads — you can now edit text and image fields.

Going live

  1. Verify the graphic looks correct in the preview.
  2. Click IN to send the standby graphic to the live column.
  3. The graphic is now on air.

Controlling playback

CommandAction
INMove standby graphic to live.
OUTRemove graphic from live output.
NEXTAdvance animation to the next label.
OUTROJump to outro marker and play exit animation.

Replacing a live graphic

To swap a graphic that’s currently on air:

  1. Drag a new graphic into the standby slot (while the current one is still live).
  2. Edit fields in standby as needed.
  3. Click IN — the new graphic replaces the current live one.

Multi-output scenarios

TL;DR

  • Each session = one broadcast output with standby and live columns.
  • Drag graphics from the sidebar into a session’s standby slot.
  • IN sends to live, OUT removes, NEXT / OUTRO control animation.
  • Replace a live graphic by loading a new one into standby and pressing IN.
