Live View
The Live View tab shows the real-time status of every display screen at your facility. Each screen is represented as a tile showing its current state, connection status, and assigned round station. Use this to quickly identify which screens are online, which are off, and to manage individual devices.

Screen tiles
Each connected display appears as a tile in the grid, showing:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Screen preview | A live thumbnail of what the screen is currently displaying, or a SCREEN IS OFF message if the display is powered down |
| Round label | The round station this screen is assigned to (e.g. Round 1, Round 5) |
| Device Online ✓ | Green badge confirming the device is connected and online |
| Screen name | The label assigned to the screen (e.g. Round 1, Round #8) |
Screens are arranged in a scrollable grid ordered by round number. Larchmont has 12 screens (Round 1 through Round 12), all visible in two rows of four.
Note: A SCREEN IS OFF state means the display is powered down but the underlying device is still online. This is normal outside of class hours.
Screen detail
Click any screen tile to open the device detail panel. This shows the full status and configuration for that individual display screen.
If a device is offline, a banner is shown at the top: Device is currently Offline. Data displayed reflects the last known state recorded before the device went offline and updates automatically when it reconnects.
The panel contains three tabs:
