Networked VGA Grid User Guide Create a custom channel
Specify a whole number, followed by a percent sign (e.g. 4%) in any of the manual positioning fields.
See
Resize and position layout items using percents or pixels (custom channel) for more information.
Using pixels:
If you need to specify an exact amount in pixels (rather than percent) you can type a pixel value in any
of the positioning value squares followed by the characters px (e.g. 56px). You can mix and match
pixels and percents changing only the boxes you want to use pixel values. At any time you can switch
back to percents by typing a percent. See
Resize and position layout items using percents or pixels
(custom channel) for more information.
Add an audio source (custom channel)
To stream the audio for a source you need to add it to a channel and make sure audio is enabled in the
channel's encoding page. (Audio is enabled in the encoding page by default.)
Audio must be added to each layout for your channel. You can use the same audio for each layout, or if you
desire, you can have different layouts use different audio. If you're not sure how to create a channel or a
layout, start by reviewing the first few steps in the topic
Custom channel layout editor .
To add an audio source to your layout:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin . See Connect to the Admin panel .
2. Follow the steps in Custom channel layout editor or Create a local custom channel or layout to get to
the channel layout editor.
3. Select the audio source(s) you want to add to your channel. Audio sources are mixed together at the
same volume level as one another.
4. When your layout changes are complete, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save to save your
work.
5. Follow the steps in Configure audio codec to ensure audio is enabled for your channel and to select
your audio settings.
For analog audio signals, you may want to check audio levels on your channel and adjust audio gain, if
needed. See
Adjust audio volume .
