You can modify some settings in MediaCentral UX.
To modify MediaCentral UX settings on the iPad:

The following table provides information about general settings.
General Settings | Description |
Version | For display purposes only, this value shows the currently installed version of the tablet app. |
Logging | If set to On, MediaCentral UX keeps logs on session activities, which you can use to troubleshoot issues. If you tap the Actions button, a Send Log option appears that lets you e-mail the logs directly to Avid. If the log file is more than 15 MB, you cannot send it directly. Use the iTunes File Sharing feature as described later in this topic. If set to Off (default), logging and the Send Log option are disabled. |
Logging Level | This setting determines how much information is logged if you enable logging. Options include: Verbose, Info, Warn, and Error. |
Request Timeout | Options are intervals of 10, 20, or 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes. |
Keep me signed in | Set to On if you want MediaCentral UX to keep you signed in after you first sign in. |
