TV Dashboard & Control Room

O.D.I.N. provides three display modes optimized for large screens, control room setups, and OBS streaming.

TV Dashboard​

Overview​

The TV Dashboard is a full-viewport display optimized for wall-mounted monitors and TV screens in a print farm.

  • Route: /tv
  • Opens in a new tab from the Cameras page (TV icon button)
  • No sidebar — full-screen layout
No Authentication Required for TV Dashboard

The TV dashboard (/tv) does not require authentication. It can be displayed on a wall screen without logging in. Sensitive data (credentials, user info) is not shown — only printer status, job progress, camera feeds, and alert counts.

Layout​

Header bar:

  • App branding (name + logo)
  • Live count of currently printing printers
  • Live clock and date

Printer card grid:

  • Responsive grid with camera thumbnails (WebRTC), printer name, status badge, active job name, progress bar, and ETA
  • Cards auto-size to fill the available grid space

Auto-pagination:

  • Farms with more than 12 printers paginate automatically, cycling through pages every 30 seconds
  • Page position dots are shown at the bottom of the screen

Stats bar:

  • Active alert count displayed at the bottom

Exiting​

Press Escape or click the X button to close the TV Dashboard.

Control Room Mode​

Control Room Mode provides a full-screen multi-camera grid with no UI chrome.

  • Activation: Press F on the Cameras page
  • Deactivation: Press Escape

All active camera feeds are displayed simultaneously in a grid that auto-sizes to fit the screen. No printer cards, no sidebar, no header — cameras only.

OBS Streaming Overlay​

The OBS overlay provides a browser source for live streaming. It shows one printer's camera feed plus real-time status data.

Route​

/overlay/:printerId

No authentication is required — the overlay endpoint is public so OBS can load it without credentials.

Layout​

  • Left 70%: Live WebRTC camera feed for the selected printer
  • Right 30%: Status panel with:
    • Printer name
    • Active job name
    • Progress bar and percentage
    • Layer count (current/total)
    • ETA
    • Nozzle and bed temperatures

Data is polled from GET /api/overlay/{printerId} every 5 seconds.

Query Parameters​

  3. Set Width to 1920 and Height to 1080 (or your stream resolution)
