Add peace of mind multi device recording in Switchboard

1Trigger is a device for Switchboard that monitors and controls the Switchboard stack.

It also provides audible and visual cues for start/stop recording state and take failure.

The plugin is accompanied by a network-attached hardware button that provides the alerts.

Take Report

Take Report

Display Slate is part of the 1Trigger plugin and creates a visual slate page showing vital information such as Sequence Name, Scene and Take, which can be seen by everyone on the stage.

Other browsers on the network can also tune into Display Slate, which is useful if you have clients with iPads.

Each time 1Trigger is used, important information is stored in a database, which can be reviewed on the Report page.

A session will contain all sequences, scenes, and takes, every connected device that triggered, any false takes and user-added notes, which can be downloaded as a CSV at the end of the day.
