3.2 The Venue View Window
The Venue View provides a visual representation of the loudspeaker arrays, venue
geometry, and sound pressure level (SPL) mapping for a given system. Resolution can
display this information in three different ways.
Top View
SPL is mapped onto each surface as viewed from directly above (“in plan”). In this mode,
it is possible to zoom in or out, as well as scroll horizontally (in both the X- and Y-axis) by
simply clicking and dragging. Take care not to click and drag an audience area or
loudspeaker while navigating.
Side View
SPL is mapped onto a cross-sectional ‘slice’ through the venue, as seen from the side (“in
section”). The location (y-coordinate) of the ‘slice’ is defined by a field in the top-right
corner of the window. In this mode, it is possible to zoom in or out, as well as to scroll
horizontally and vertically (in the X- and Z-axis, respectively) by simply clicking and
dragging. While in this view, users can select which Y-axis “slice” to view by manipulating
the “Y:” value in the upper right-hand corner. Surfaces currently intersecting the Y-axis
“slice” will be displayed with a thick blue outline, while those that do not are displayed
with a thin blue outline.
