Project Layers
The Layers list allows you to add all the required layers to build your broadcast project. These layers can be media files, live video sources, and graphics. You can manage your layers as separate channels when creating a new channel by clicking "+Add Channel" at the top of the Layers list.
Note: Titler Live 5 Present and Sport allow you have 1 channel of layers, but you can create 16 channels in Titler Live 5 Broadcast.
Each channel is assigned a tab and behaves as its own specific NDI channel. In the following illustration, the NDI channels are called Lower 3rds, Bugs, and Scoreboard.
