Preview and View the Broadcast

Audience.playback.tv or Audience.playback.sign

If you have an x264io and a separate playback system, you can use the x264io output on your creation system as a preview.

If you have a separate Audience.playback system for on-air, and don't have a x264io installed on your creation system, you can preview using the built in Audience.playback.sign engine on your desktop.

 To preview your output

  1. In Audience, go to File > Audience Settings.
  2. Place a checkmark next to Enable MediaScreen.

See Audience Settings for more information.

Audience.foundation will need to restart for the change to take effect, and you will then see your show in a window on your desktop. If you can't see your mouse once the preview window is open, simply left-click once on the preview to get it back.
