Introduction to the Layout Editor
The
Layout Editor
is the main workspace where basic templates from the Template Library are furnished
with PiP elements such as sources, borders, labels, UMDs, clocks, timers, alarms, and bitmap
backgrounds.
There are also ready made PiP designs containing many of these items which can be drag-n-dropped
from the Elements Library to any PiP.
Click on
Edit Layout
from the main start-up application to display the
Layout Editor
with the
current preset loaded.
Video sources are associated with camera icons and DVI computer sources are associated with
computer icons.
Templates, Sources and Elements
Layouts can also be created from scratch using
Templates
,
Sources
and
Elements
.
Templates
provide a range of PiP arrangements that can be used as the underlying pattern that layouts
are based on. A single template can be used to make numerous layouts.
Video sources can be PAL, NTSC, SDI, HD-SDI or DVI (computer) dependent on multiviewer model and
installed I/O cards. These can be assigned to any PiP in the layout by drag-n-dropping their icons
(camera or computer) from the Sources tab. Video sources can be duplicated enabling two PiPs to have
the same source (but, say, different audio) while a single primary computer source can only be assigned
to one PiP.
