Composite slot viewer controls

Viewer controls in composite slots are used to control recording and playback of composite views that combine multiple source slots. They are displayed in a separate bar below the image inside the viewer window, both in the main view and in multi views.

Composite slots combine signals from input slots and/or library slots into a single view using different layout options such as side-by-side, grid, swipe, or overlay layouts.

Composite slots provide two types of viewer controls:

  • Playback controls
  • Recording controls

You can switch between these control sets using the control mode toggle.
