Quad Monitor Card - Option #341
In some installations the standard monitor card will be sufficient, but in most Granite 5000 installations you will
want to have more screen spaces, especially when used by a team. The quad monitor card option upgrades the
dual-headed card to a quad-headed card in the same PCI slot. The benefits of having up to four monitor outputs is
the ability to spread out sources for specific users. For example, one screen could be used for a technical director,
one for a graphics operator and one or two for producers. The flexibility gained with this option gives an endless
amount of opportunities for producers and directors to create custom layouts based on their show needs . The
output type for the four quad monitor output is DVI-D. Attach the included fan out cable to the large connector

Customizing the Multi-View
The Fluent Multi-View can be extensively customized. You can
remove windows you do not use, rearrange the windows, resize
them, and change the colors of the window frame and the
background. You can make a duplicate copy of a window, like
Program or a source, and put it on both monitors.
For example, you can rearrange the standard multi-view across
two large wall monitors. The customization can be done by going
to the drop down menu, unlocking the multi-view, and then just
grabbing and resizing. Alignment and sizing tools are included. For
more, see Multi-View Customization in the owners manual.
