•
Use EDID files in Transmitters to display the source at 1080p where it is practical.
•
Identify UHD and 4K 50/60 sources and displays in the Terra system configuration and
acknowledge operating restrictions for multiview mode.
•
Up to 32 images can be used in multiview mode if all images are presented adjacent to each
other in a grid; however, when the grid is not used or windows are overlapped, the number of
sources and performance will be reduced.
•
Receivers operating in multiview mode have limits to the bandwidth that can be subscribed to.
The limit is based on the Ethernet 10Gbps connection. Example bandwidths used by two UHD
multiview scenarios are presented below:
•
Best practice is to present full images in FastSwitch mode. Avoid using Multiviewer mode for
full images.
•
Best practice is to present sources in a standard arrangement adjacent to each other such as
2x2, 3x3, and 4x4; otherwise the quality of the images may be reduced.
•
Best practice is to use the “Snap to Grid” tick box.
•
Free form window sizing is discouraged, and special considerations need to be taken when
used:
Overlapped and overlayered windows count against the 32-window rule.
Spaces between windows count against the 32-window rule.
A source used in more than one window cannot be of different sizes (one down scale
rule).
•
If one source is used multiple times with different dimensions in a multiview layout, it will not
display properly, since it can only provide one downscaled stream (refer to the first bullet
point).
•
Oversubscription issues at a Receiver (pixel dropouts) can be identified by removing layers
from the multiview layout.
To create a multiview layout:
1.
Click
Operation Mode
.
2.
On a Display Array, double click the area you want to convert to Multiview; or click
Enter
Multiview
.
The area you are converting to Multiview cannot have any sources on it.
