2.2.2 Navigating the 3D visualiser

Most of the time the Ai interface shows a 3D visualisation of the

scene

Pan camera view: Shift + click and drag the mouse

Zoom camera: Mouse wheel

2.2.3 Closing the software

Across the top of the screen is a menu bar. To close the Ai software

select Ai → Exit.

2.2.4 Other functions on the menu bar

The menu bar at the top of the screen is always present, it is

produced by the graphics engine known as Salvation which provides

the video processing backbone within Ai.

Only advanced users will need to interact directly with

the Salvation engine. If you are new to Ai you may wish

to skip to the next section which tells you how to get on

and use the system.

Salvation allows you to enter the license key for your Ai software

installation, and to exit the server software.

• The left hand side of the menu tells you the license level of your

system: Miami, Bondi or Anjuna. This affects the number of

outputs and other features (see Ai website for details

http://www.avolitesmedia.com). Click here to enter a license

key.

• The File menu allows you to create, load and save patches. A

patch is a group of Salvation modules. A patch can be used to

accomplish a simple task like midi input or output or colour

adjustment. A patch can also achieve more complex tasks, in

fact the whole Ai system is a group of nested patches, so using

the file menu you can save out parts of your project (like the

stage patch for example) and insert patches into other patches.

Or you can save and load projects which are also Salvation

patches. The top level project window is the projects main

patch window.

• The Edit menu allows you to select, delete and copy and paste

salvation modules from within a patch. This can also be

achieved using the traditional window hot keys, Ctrl C, Ctrl X,

Ctrl V. It also possible to undo and redo patch operations from
