Layout families for multiple monitors
If you are going to create solutions involving more than a
single monitor, you must specify the number of monitors
before you start to design your Layout families.
The example shown here is taken from a C90 setup using
four monitors. This will produce four substages for all the
layout scenarios, all of which can be edited separately.
A few things to note:
• Separate edit. All the substages can be edited
separately as you would do with a single monitor
solution. Consequently, each substage can hold a
maximum of five frames in the usual manner.
• Improve view of details. Substages can be edited
directly, but if you want a better view, click
in the
upper right corner of a substage to show it as “full
screen” on the stage. Click again to return it to its
original size.
• Powerful. The ability to tailor each video output can be
used to create quite powerful solutions, for example in
conjunction with remote lecturers giving a presentation
to an auditorium—see the appendix (Sources of inspira-
tion) for an example scenario.
• Source code. If you are going to use a Crestron or
similar panel to operate the customized layouts, you
will need to use API. You may design the layout here
and then click
to invoke a window with the API
commands listed, ready to be copied and pasted into
other applications.
