# Avid Media Composer Plugin

The Coresee Avid Media Composer plugin lets you stream a live feed from Avid directly into a Coresee room, without switching applications, sharing your whole screen, or exporting a proxy file first. It's built for review sessions, dailies, and remote collaboration where an editor needs to show cut footage — or a specific Avid panel — to people who aren't in the room.

The plugin adds a **Coresee Transmitter** device to Avid's HW/SW (hardware/software) panel output. Once configured, it streams whichever monitor or panel you choose straight to a Coresee room as a live feed — participants see it update in real time as you work.

<Note>
  Avid integration requires a Gold license. The Coresee Transmitter plugin and panel will not connect to a room on a Basic or Silver license.
</Note>

## **Share Your Stream to a Coresee Room**

With the panel configured, choose a room and select what to send before starting the feed.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Locate the room you want to stream to and click Connect.">
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/likemindedlabs/TEZj4JsOtym1EpDT/images/avid_connectroom.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=TEZj4JsOtym1EpDT&q=85&s=a41cfa8f425e1b8b9b19d46f35c322ce" alt="Avid Connectroom" title="Avid Connectroom" width="1128" height="446" data-path="images/avid_connectroom.png" />
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare your stream through the Settings tab." />

  <Step title="Click the Input tab. By default, you'll see options for Playback and Full Screen." />

  <Step title="Select the content and audio source you want to share.">
    <Info>
      Only audio from one input source can be shared at a time, regardless of how many video sources are visible.<br /><br /><br />**Selecting Playback** streams whichever window you're actively editing in — the Record Monitor or the Source Monitor. Switching between them mid-stream updates the room's view in real time, with no need to restart the feed.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Start to send the feed directly to your room." />
</Steps>

Once the stream is live, it appears in the room, and additional controls become available through the [Files tab of the room's Side panel](/help/control-panel/media-tab).

## **Adjusting Stream Settings**

Streaming quality settings are host-only, and can only be changed while the stream is stopped.<br />

<Note>
  You must be a Host or Co-Host to modify streaming settings such as Video Resolution, Frame Rate, and Bitrate. Default settings already produce high-quality streaming — Advanced options are available if you need further customization.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Streaming settings cannot be changed while a session is active. Stop the stream first.
</Warning>

## **Sharing Specific Avid Panels**

Beyond the Record and Source Monitors, you can stream an individual floated Avid panel — useful for showing just a bin, a timeline, or a scopes panel without the rest of the interface.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the Panel you’d like to share and click on the Panel name." />

  <Step title="Select Float this Panel." />

  <Step title="From the Input tab, click the Refresh button, and the Panel will then appear as an available input option. " />
</Steps>

<Check>
  **Now, you can easily view your Avid Media Composer project directly in your Coresee room and engage in edit-over-the-shoulder sessions!**
