We use a lot of terms that are specific to the Juggler-Compere world, so it's worth being familiar with
them.
Tooltips are implemented throughout Compere, with longer descriptions for labels in

M512-3 Juggler : User Guide
Definition
There are three panels for assembling systems on a grid: Canvas for the display, Nodes to
connect Jugglers, and Visualise to create 3D projection spaces.
The Juggler fibre-optic data bus connects Jugglers together to direct any input through any
process to any other Juggler output in the system. The bus can carry individual media
streams or the whole system canvas, and its overall bandwidth is dependent on the unit
configuration.
A media stream input is directed in the same Juggler to a matched-type and resolution
output, requiring no processing.
The assembly panel containing the total available video space ('the Canvas'). This panel
can contain multiple display canvases on which Canvas Outputs can be positioned.
A section of a composited canvas that is taken to an output.
A source of video that can be positioned on a Canvas.
xml descriptor for a project entity, e.g. canvas+outputs; projectors; Juggler configuration;
3D model arrangements. Contains all properties and can be saved and reused by loading
into in any project. Unlike Presets, clones are saved without UUIDs.
A video interface point for a device displayed in Node view. May be of any type (e.g.
DisplayPort, HDMI, SDI, or bus), input or output.
A system of commands to address and message any element in a Project.
A background scaling and positioning guide used in the Assembly panels: Canvas, Nodes
and Visualise.
7thSense automatic failover system.
A Juggler unit of any configuration of inputs and outputs.
The selection of dockable panels within which a Juggler project is addressed. Users can
save the Layout they create and prefer. Views are default task-oriented Layouts.
A small preview representing the current viewing position and enabling navigation,
amongst all nodes available in the Nodes panel.
Any network device running an instance of Compere that is not a Network Server.
