Full Screen Viewer and Casting
If you load a video asset and hover your cursor over the Media Viewer, two buttons appear over the image in the upper-right corner of the viewer as illustrated below.
Full Screen
When you click this button, the asset fills your active monitor — the monitor on which your web browser is currently positioned. When in this mode, you retain access to the Viewer Timeline, media and playback controls, as well as the Timecode Display menu.
You can press the Esc key on your keyboard to exit Full Screen mode.
Cast Display (Beta)
If you have two or more monitors connected to your local workstation, you can click the Cast button to display the asset that is currently loaded in the Media Viewer on an external monitor. If you have cast-compliant devices in your local network, you might also have the ability to cast to a display that is not directly connected to your workstation.
While the ability to cast video and audio is possible in some cases, this beta feature is designed primarily for casting video-only to a directly connected external monitor. For more information on beta features, see Beta Apps.
To cast the Media Viewer to a compatible device:
1. Use the Browse app, Search app, or other source to load a video asset into the Media Viewer.
2. Move your cursor over the Media Viewer and click the Cast button.
A menu appears that displays all potential casting locations.
*The Sources sub-menu provides options to Cast tab, Cast desktop, or Cast file. At this time, Avid supports the Cast tab option only.
3. Select a casting destination from the list.
You can use the controls in the Media Viewer to work with the asset as normal.
*In this release of MediaCentral Cloud UX, your secondary monitor displays a temporary image when you begin casting. You must click the Reload Asset button in the Media Viewer to properly view the asset on the external display.
4. When you are finished using the external monitor, you can click on the Media Viewer’s Cast button again, and reselect the display to Stop Casting.
