•Each VERTEX System can display ControlViews in fullscreen - this fullscreen window is called Control Viewer.
•Depending on your VERTEX license, it is possible to run both on the same system: a Control Viewer and a video rendering fullscreen window for your System Output.
•It is also possible to have a transparent ControlView layer on top of your fullscreen video rendering window or on your Windows desktop.
