The MVP Dashboard
The Dashboard is the home page of the MVP web interface. It provides a live overview of everything happening on your device: what's playing, what signals are being received, and the status of all connected hardware.
Playback Column
Timecode Section
When timecode clips are configured in the Timeline Editor, a timecode header and timeline appear at the top of the Playback column. If no timecode clips are configured, this section is hidden entirely.
The timecode header shows:
Active slot name: Links to the Timecode page
Source & FPS chip: Shows "LTC" or "MTC" with detected framerate (e.g., "LTC . 30fps"). Turns red with a pulse animation if the detected FPS doesn't match the configured FPS. Only visible when timecode signal is present.
Rate chip: Shows playback speed (e.g., "1.000x"). Only visible when timecode signal is present.
SMPTE timecode display: Large HH:MM:SS:FF display (classic LED clock style)
Below the header, a Timecode Timeline visualization shows:
Two track lanes: VIDEO and LIGHTING with colored clip blocks
Ruler: Major tick marks every minute (HH:MM:SS), minor ticks every 15 seconds
Red playhead: Auto-follows the incoming timecode position during playback
Clip labels and thumbnails: Video clips show image thumbnails, lighting clips show a "DMX" badge
Playback Status Bar
Two side-by-side sectioins showing the current state of Video and Lighting playback:
Title
"Videos" or "Lighting Cues" (clickable to navigate to that page), with the active slot name
State
"Playing" (pulsing green) or stopped
Filename
Currently playing file
Position
Current playback position in HH:MM:SS.t format
Trigger Tables
Two scrollable tables showing the complete MIDI note-to-file assignment for Video and Lighting:
Note column: MIDI note number (00-99)
File column: Assigned filename
"Show only assigned" checkbox: Filters both tables to hide empty notes
Green pulse highlight: The currently playing clip's row pulses green
Note 00: Always shows "Black Out" in both tables
ArtNET Preview
A link labeled "ArtNET Preview" appears in the Lighting trigger table header. Clicking it opens a floating overlay panel in the top-right corner of the screen.
The overlay displays:
512-channel grid: Each cell shows a DMX value (0-255)
Universe selector: Dropdown to choose which of the 16 universes to view
Real-time updates: Refreshes as DMX data changes
Close button: Dismisses the overlay

LTC Signal Quality (Conditional)
Only visible when an LTC timecode signal is detected. Two horizontal meters help you verify your LTC audio signal:
LTC Volume: Shows incoming audio signal level in dB. Color-coded: green (good, -20dB to -1dB), orange (too low), red (clipping).
Frames Decoded: Shows successful frame decode rate as a percentage. Green = no frame loss; orange/red = increasing loss. Displays "--" when no signal detected.
