Workflow layouts
The right-hand side of the menu bar allows you to choose from among the four workflow
layouts in X-Agora.
Study:
Study, also called Projection Study, is mostly used in the initial phases of a pro-
duction. It is the layout best suited for creating your 3D scene and arranging your dis-
plays. You can create multiple display configurations, and produce a study document
to detail and evaluate each configuration. If there is no need to produce such documents,
you should still use the Projection Study layout to create your scene and displays, because
this layout has features that may help people working at a more technical level: technical
directors, architects, and integrators.
Programming: The Programming tool allows you to build content Timelines. X-Agora
allows you to create as many Timelines as you want in each X-Agora project. Because
it was designed for large-scale installations, X-Agora also allows you to playback multiple
Timelines simultaneously. Often, in large-scale installations, there are multiple screen
spaces, and often it is easier to compartmentalize content for each screen space on a
dedicated Timeline.
Outputs: Use the Outputs layout to connect individual projectors and displays to the
physical outputs of the graphic cards on your Player computers. The Outputs layout
also allows you to tweak settings, such as the position of windows and the amount of
anti-aliasing.
Playback: The Playback layout is meant to play your show. It features a simplified in-
terface for streamlined playback, in which Timelines are not editable to avoid accidental
changes. It also features the control room view of player outputs, allowing you to
monitor the output and performance of your player machines during operation.
Workspace
The workspace is divided into several panes. You may show or hide any of the panes
by selecting or deselecting them in the Window menu. The central pane is the Viewport.
The Viewport pane is where most manipulation and visualization of your 3D scene oc-
curs.
Displays pane: The Displays pane allows you to adjust the properties of projectors and
screens to the real-world constraints of your project.
