The Basics: User Interface and Navigation
|
|
| 1. | The ViewScape Interface:
|
| This is the primary user interface (UI). When the ViewScape interface starts, the Home menu will be displayed, an example of which is displayed below.
|

|
|
|
| Notes:
|
| · | Exiting the ViewScape interface, either by the menu option, ALT-F4, or hitting the "X" in the upper right corner, does not exit the program. Beyond TV will still appear as a system tray icon, and will remain active in order to be able to create and process recordings. To exit Beyond TV, use the System Tray icon, described below.
|
| · | A red dot ( ) appears in the lower right corner of the ViewScape interface while a recording is in progress.
|
|
|
| 2. | The System Tray icon:
|
| This icon is placed in the System Tray primarily to allow launching the ViewScape interface and to allow management of Beyond TV 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Right-click on this icon to display the following menu of options:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Open Beyond TV: This option will launch the ViewScape interface. Double-clicking on the system tray icon will also take this action.
|
| · | Advanced Settings: This option opens the Web Admin interface to its Settings page.
|
| · | iTunes Settings: This option opens the Web Admin interface to its iTunes Integration Settings page. NOTE: This option will only appear after the DVD Burning and H.264 Plug-In is activated.
|
| · | Stop all recordings: Halts every recording currently in progress.
|
| · | About Beyond TV: Displays information about the software, including version number and copyright notices. Also allows access to the System Information Uploader and the Backup / Restore Settings functions.
|
| · | Exit: Exits Beyond TV. Note that this is the only way to exit completely, as closing the ViewScape window only closes the ViewScape interface.
|
| 3. | The Web Admin Interface:
|
| This interface is designed for advanced users. It handles detailed configuration and enables remote access and streaming functions and is described in the "For Advanced Users" section of this document.
