Pipelines
A pipeline is the behind-the-scenes chain that carries your media from a source all the way to your speakers or a display. ArenaDirector builds and runs pipelines automatically — one starts whenever a slot plays, and it stops when playback ends. Most events never need you to open this pane at all.
Open it by selecting the gear icon in the left sidebar, then choosing Pipelines under the Application group.
Advanced area
This pane is intended for diagnostic use. Most users never need it. Do not make changes here unless directed by support.
When you might look here
- A support contact asks you to open the pane so they can walk you through what you are seeing.
- You want to confirm at a glance that playback is active — the pane shows whether each pipeline is currently playing, paused, or stopped.
Beyond those situations, there is nothing to configure here. ArenaDirector manages these chains for you.
