Destination formats
A few words about destination formats:
• For Screen Destinations: The format of any Output configuration added to a Screen Destination is
updated to match the format of the Screen Destination. If the first Output configuration in a Screen
Destination is deleted and a new Output configuration is added, then the format of the new Output
configuration becomes the format of the Screen Destination.
• For AUX Destinations: An AUX destination always assumes the format of the Output configuration that is
assigned to it.
• For Super Destinations: Super Destinations do not have an output format. As Screen Destinations are
added to a Super Destination, the pixels from the Screen Destinations are added together to create the
canvas size of the Super Destination.
Screen Destinations of different resolutions can be combined into a Super destination.
The placement of the individual Screen Destinations need not be edge-to-edge. Screen Destinations can
be placed in arbitrary positions, creating a new pixel coordination system and allowing manipulation of
Super Layers within that new system.
• For Super AUX Destinations: Super AUX Destinations work with AUX Destinations as AUX Destinations
work with Output configurations. Create a Super AUX, and drag and drop the desired AUX Destinations
into it. Use the H/V Offset edit boxes to adjust the layout relationship of the AUX destinations that are
assigned to the Super AUX.
- Super AUX Destinations work only with AUX Destinations.
- Super AUX is not available as a destination in the MVR, although the user can still add the individual
AUX Destinations to the MVR.
- Arming any AUX Destination that is a member of a Super Aux arms the Super AUX Destination, which
arms all the other AUX destinations that are grouped in the Super AUX.
Rules
The following rules apply when defining a Screen / AUX Destination configuration:
1. Destinations accept only the same Output connector types.
Different connector formats cannot be mixed in the same destination.
2. Destinations accept Output configurations only with the same number of Output connectors.
Output configurations with a different number of connectors cannot be combined. For example if the first
Output configuration added is an HDMI output configuration with two (2) connectors (grouped connector),
an HDMI output configuration with one (1) connector cannot be added to the same destination.
3. Each card can support up to four (4) screen destinations (program outputs), or up to four (4) AUX Outputs,
or two (2) AUX and two (2) Screen Outputs.
4. ALL outputs can be AUX Destinations, and all Outputs can be assigned to Screen Destinations.
5. Screen Destination sizes are determined by the available amount of pixel canvas, not by the number of
Outputs assigned to a Screen Destination.
Color codes
Super Destinations, Screen Destinations, and AUX Destinations are represented graphically in the Diagram
area.
Blue: The destination has been assigned to a super
destination.
Green: Output(s) have been assigned to the destination
Yellow: Output(s) have been removed from the destination.
It is possible that after the unit is turned on, the hardware configuration can be altered making certain
Destinations to have invalid Output configurations.
In this case the Destination in the System Diagram becomes grey and adjustment is disabled. In this case the
destination needs to be deleted and new one created to reflect the existing output configuration.
