The Cloud Control Room (CCR) component was a major new addition to the VJU system. It is a central place to collect all messages and errors of any component in the production pipeline of a channel – from asset repository upload to the encoder to the playout machine and several other components involved.
The basic scenario for the design was for the user to see 1. is there an error, 2. where is that error in the pipline, 3. what exactly is the error and 4. offer possibilities to fix the error.This component was a major new addition to the VJU system.

I was the lead interaction designer and quality assurance for the delivered GUI, in a team of 1 front-end and 3 back-end developers and 1 product manager.
The work on the system comprised all steps from designing up to readying for implementation of small elements like save button with feedback as well as complete new components like a comprehensive control room to monitor all playout channels for errors.
