Global volume controls:

The playback panel of the Desktop Client includes a single volume control that applies to all audio sources on layout, scene, and the Speak, Play Sound, and Repeat Sound Site actions that are part of the Event Rules.

To adjust playback volume, use one of the following:

•Click-and-drag the Volume Slider to the right of the Timeline.

•Click on the Volume Slide and then adjust with the Mouse Wheel.

•Use Ctrl+Up or Ctrl+Down volume Keyboard Shortcuts.

NOTE: Click the speaker icon or the Keyboard Shortcut: U to toggle the Site-wide mute function.

Muting an active device:

Individual devices will display a mute icon along the top panel buttons when the following Site conditions are set:

•The resource type is a Camera, Virtual Camera, or Input/Output device.

•The resources has all device specific audio services enabled.

•The current user has "Play Audio" permissions to the resource.

•Site Local Settings are configured to "Play audio from all cameras on layout".

•Mute configuration retention:

oThe state of the device-mute control is retained regardless of the global volume mute control.

oThe mute state is saved per layout instance on the grid.

▪If resource 1 on layout A is muted, and resource 1 is opened again (new instance) on layout A or another layout, then the default state (not muted) is set for the new instance.

▪If layout A is closed, and then opened once again, the first added instance of resource 1 will be muted while all additional instances will have the default state of not muted.

▪Device (mute) state is saved per Desktop Client instance. If the same user opens the same Site from from a Desktop Client running on a different workstation, and then opens layout A, both instances of resource 1 will have the default mute state of not muted.

▪ The device mute state is saved with the user data such that when another user connects to the same Site from the same Desktop Client, and opens Layout A, both instances of resource 1 will have the default mote state of not muted.
