Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://support.4cast.world/6.-configuration/system-settings.md). # System Settings The **System Settings** dialog contains device-level preferences. To open it, click the **gear icon** in the top-right corner of any page and select **System**.
*** ## Status Display Brightness Controls the brightness of the front-panel LCD screen. * **Range**: 1 (dimmest) to 255 (brightest) * **Default**: 200 * Drag the slider to adjust in real time > **Tip**: In dark venues, lowering the brightness prevents the display from being a distraction on stage. *** ## Status LED A toggle to enable or disable the front-panel LED indicator. | Setting | Behavior | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | **Enabled** (default) | LED provides visual feedback for current mode (see below) | | **Disabled** | LED is completely off | ### LED Behavior When Enabled | Mode | Steady State | On Trigger | | -------------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------- | | **Standard** (no timecode) | Blue LED on | Red flashes briefly on each trigger | | **Timecode active** | Red LED on | Blue flashes once per second | *** ## MIDI CC Trigger Mode An expandable panel with a toggle to enable or disable CC-based clip triggering. When enabled, **MIDI CC #110** can trigger video and lighting clips as an alternative to MIDI notes. This is useful for controllers that send CC messages but not note messages. For full details on how CC triggering works, clip mapping, and important usage warnings, see the dedicated [MIDI CC Trigger Mode](/5.-triggering/midi-cc-trigger-mode.md) page. *** ## MIDI Transport (Prev / Next) A reference panel documenting the two hardcoded transport notes: **Note 101 (Previous)** and **Note 102 (Next)**, which step backward and forward through the assignments in the active configuration slot. There is nothing to configure; the notes are always active. See [MIDI Transport (Prev / Next)](/5.-triggering/midi-transport-prev-next.md) for full details. *** ## Autoplay An expandable panel with two independent switches — **Video** and **Lighting** — that make the MVP automatically advance to the next non-empty assignment in the active configuration slot at the end of every clip. The panel header shows the current state at a glance: `Off`, `Video`, `Lighting`, or `Video + Lighting`. Changes apply immediately; there is no Apply button. For advance logic, boot behavior, the 5-second still-image timer, and how autoplay interacts with timecode and per-clip overrides, see the dedicated [Autoplay](/6.-configuration/autoplay.md) page. *** ## Network MIDI Interface An expandable panel that controls which network connection, **Ethernet** or **Wi-Fi**, the MVP's RTP-MIDI session uses. This prevents duplicate MVP entries from appearing in RTP-MIDI clients when both interfaces are connected to the same network. Switching restarts the RTP-MIDI system, so existing RTP-MIDI sessions are dropped and clients must reconnect. For full details and troubleshooting, see the dedicated [Network MIDI Interface](/6.-configuration/network-midi-interface.md) page. *** ## Display Settings An expandable panel for choosing the HDMI output's resolution and refresh rate, and for opening the Display Calibration tool. The panel header shows the currently active mode (for example `1920×1080 @ 60 Hz`). The MVP remembers settings **per display**, identified by EDID, so every TV, projector, or processor you plug in is recognised automatically. For resolution selection modes (Auto / Advanced / Forced), per-display profiles, and hotplug behavior, see [Display Settings](#display-settings). For positioning and resizing the video output on the physical display, see [Display Calibration](/6.-configuration/display-settings/display-calibration.md). *** ## Beta Features A link at the bottom of System Settings opens the **Beta Features** dialog, where you can enable experimental features like [Effects Mode](/2.-video-setup/effects-mode.md). Beta features are experimental and may change in future updates. When the **Enable Beta Features** toggle is on, additional options become available elsewhere in the UI (for example, "Effects" appears in the Video Mode dropdown on the Videos page). *** ## Status Display Views The front-panel color Status Display switches automatically between three views based on activity: ### HOME View (Default)
Shown at idle and on startup. Displays connection status for all interfaces: | Row | Shows | | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | | **HDMI** | Resolution and connected device name | | **ETH** | IP address and subnet mask | | **WIFI** | IP address and SSID | | **MVP VERSION** | Current firmware version | Disconnected interfaces show "NOT CONNECTED." If an MVP update is available, a pulsing green banner appears at the bottom. A scrolling ticker along the bottom edge continuously displays connection details for HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and MIDI devices. ### LIVE MIDI View
Appears automatically when a MIDI note, CC trigger, or keyboard trigger is received. Shows two side-by-side boxes: | Box | Color | Content | | ------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------- | | **VIDEO** | Teal | Trigger info for the video channel | | **LIGHTING** | Purple | Trigger info for the lighting channel | Each box adapts its display based on the trigger source: * **MIDI Note**: Shows the note name (e.g., "C3") and note number * **MIDI CC** (CC Trigger Mode): Shows the CC value and "MIDI CC" label * **USB Keyboard**: Shows the key label (e.g., "Q") and "KEYBOARD" label Below the trigger boxes, playback rows show the currently playing filename and playback position for both Video and Lighting. An animated gradient stripe indicates active playback. ### LIVE TC (Timecode) View
Appears automatically when timecode is received. Displays a large timecode clock in HH:MM:SS:FF format with the active configuration slot name above it. Below the timecode, playback rows show currently playing files. The FPS label below the timecode shows the source type and frame rate (e.g., "LTC 30fps"). It turns red if a frame rate mismatch is detected, and displays "No Signal" when timecode stops. ### Display Timeout After 2 minutes of inactivity (no MIDI, playback, or timecode), the display automatically returns to the HOME view. *** ## Related Pages * [Autoplay](/6.-configuration/autoplay.md) -- Automatic sequential playback of the active slot * [Network MIDI Interface](/6.-configuration/network-midi-interface.md) -- Choose Ethernet or Wi-Fi for RTP-MIDI * [Display Settings](/6.-configuration/display-settings.md) -- Resolution selection and per-display profiles * [Display Calibration](/6.-configuration/display-settings/display-calibration.md) -- Reposition and resize the video output * [Configuration Slots (A-E)](/6.-configuration/configuration-slots.md) -- Save and switch between full setups * [MIDI CC Trigger Mode](/5.-triggering/midi-cc-trigger-mode.md) -- Full CC triggering guide * [MIDI Transport (Prev / Next)](/5.-triggering/midi-transport-prev-next.md) -- Notes 101/102 transport * [Effects Mode (Beta)](/2.-video-setup/effects-mode.md) -- Real-time video effects * [Hardware Connections & Specs](/1.-getting-started/hardware-connections-and-specs.md) -- Port-by-port guide
