DPD (Disguise Playback Dashboard), a browser-based dashboard for monitoring playback in Disguise Designer.
DPD receives live data from the Director over the local network and displays layers from the Video and Generative categories. It’s read-only, so it doesn’t control playback.
- Main and second timelines: track names, playback mode and ON AIR status.
- Up to three active layers on the main timeline and one on the second.
- Layer names, types and brightness; media filenames when available, selected version tags such as [v.2], and embedded-audio indicators.
- Elapsed and remaining time, a large countdown and upcoming media.
- Current and next section metadata: TC, MIDI, OSC and notes in Advanced; upcoming clip duration in Simple.
- Director output state — FADE UP, FADE DOWN or HOLD — plus Director FPS in Advanced.
- Project name, clock, date and connection status, with stream diagnostics.
