Buttons for changing within a display matrix can be found in the toolbar – the same
as in the monitor level. You can choose between a 1 x 1 display and a 2 x 2
display. The playback windows also contain an optional additional line at the
bottom of the display where the file name and frame number can be displayed.
This additional line can be switched on and off globally for all playback windows.
The standard setting is "switched off". The frame information is switched on using
the context menu of the playback window or the menu
