Studio mode is Fabl’s live control surface. Enter it from any page to run it as a rundown: you cue and take items on air, the system tracks each item’s status, and your cues are relayed to your devices through a connected agent.

​
Enter studio mode

Open the page and click Studio, then choose the agent that will execute the show. The page switches to the studio control surface with transport controls, a current/next preview, and live timers.

​
Transport controls

Starts the show. If nothing is on air yet, the cued item (or the first item) is taken to air. If a show was paused, it resumes. The show clock starts when you first play.
Halts the show and resets it: the first item is re-cued, all others return to idle, and the clocks clear.
Takes the cued item to air and automatically pre-cues the next item. Take is the same action — you can also take by clicking a cued item. Skipped items are jumped automatically.
Moves the cue forward one item without taking it to air, so you can pre-select what plays next. You can also cue a specific item directly by clicking it.
When enabled, the rundown advances to the next item automatically when the current item’s duration elapses.

​
Item status

Every item shows where it is in the show:
StatusMeaning
IdleNot yet cued
CuedSelected, ready to take next
On-airCurrently live
CompletedAlready played
SkippedPassed over
The on-air item is marked live, the cued item is highlighted, and skipped items are dimmed.

​
Timers

Studio mode runs three clocks:
  • Time of day — the current wall-clock time
  • Show clock — elapsed time since the show started
  • Item timer — elapsed time on the current on-air item

​
How cues reach your gear

When you take, cue, or advance, the command is sent to the selected agent, which executes it on the connected device — cutting a switcher input, firing a graphic, recalling an audio scene, and so on. State flows back so the rundown stays in sync for everyone watching. Set up that automation in Rules.
