Inbound services listening on this Mac, and outbound targets it talks to.

Entirely read-only. A dashboard, not a settings page. Every value here is changed in the tab that owns it. Use this when a phone can't reach Live Notes, or the desk's cues aren't landing, and you need to see what's actually listening.

Inbound: services listening on this Mac​

OSC Cue Input (UDP), OSC Remote Control (UDP), QLab Reply (UDP, only when QLab is on), Live Notes (TCP), Stage Display (TCP), sACN Timecode (UDP 5568), Art-Net Timecode (UDP 6454).

Outbound: targets this Mac talks to​

OSC Console Output (UDP), QLab (UDP), Companion Variables (HTTP), Companion Feedback (UDP), TheatreMix (UDP), and the NDI source.

Reading the status dots​

ColourMeans
Green: LiveVerified: traffic is actually flowing
Orange: Enabled, unconfirmedSwitched on, nothing seen yet
Grey: Configured / offFire-and-forget UDP, where no acknowledgement exists to confirm delivery
Red: Conflict / errorTwo services on one port, or a bind failure

These dots are this tab's own legend. They aren't the timecode pill in the main window, which is green, gold or red.

The dots pulse a ring on each packet, so you can watch a cue arrive.

A red banner appears if two services collide on the same port ("Port conflict on 8000, two services share a port. Change one in its tab."). The classic one is Millumin or Companion defaulting to 8000, the same port as the console cue input.
