Operation Mode: Create a Multiview Layout
A multiview layout can consist of two or more sources on one receiver.
Multiview Design Considerations
Review the following guidelines to help create multiview layouts:
•
Multiview layouts are best used for confidence monitoring and preview applications, not for
live presentation displays.
o
A Terra multiview layout assembles downscaled sources. It is not a multi-windowing
processor that freely upscales and downscales sources.
o
Default operation presents downscaled sources at 30 FPS.
•
Best approach is to use one display array in the system for multiview mode.
Careful design is required if more than one multiview layout is used in a system.
•
There is one down-scaler available per source throughout a system. For example, showing the
same source on multiple multiview layouts at different window sizes is not supported.
•
Terra Manager provides a warning but doesn’t prevent users from proceeding when attempting
to add a Transmitter that is already used in a multiview layout. The outcome may result in
undesirable image artifacts due to bandwidth oversubscription. See the following example
dialog:
The window of the source on the first Multiview will stay the same size, but the image will be scaled
inside the window.
•
A common downscale resolution must be used for multiview layouts.
•
Lower resolution displays (1080p) are best to use with multiview layouts because they pull
less bandwidth to the Receiver.
