Last updated 9 April 2026

End-to-end guides for common Backstage installation types. Each guide covers a complete setup from scratch — hardware routing, scene configuration, asset assignment, and playback control.

These guides assume you have Backstage installed and licensed, and that at least one GPU output is connected.
