To Edit a MultiViewer Layout

  1. Press HOME > Setup > MultiViewer.
  2. In the Layouts area, select the layout that you want to edit.
  3. Press Layout Editor > Head X (Head for an Input MultiViewer), depending on which head you want to edit the layout for.
  4. Use the Grid knob to select the arrangement of the boxes that you want to use.
  5. Select the box that you want to assign a video source to and use the Source List knob to select the video source that you want to assign to the box.
  6. In the Current Layout area, select the element you want to display for the selected box.
    • Label Bottom — show the source label at the bottom of the box and not at the top.
    • Label Top — show the source label at the top of the box and not at the bottom.
    • White Border — show a white border around the box. The border masks a small portion of the edges of the image in the box.
    • Black Border — show a black border around the box. The border masks a small portion of the edges of the image in the box.
    • 4:3/16:9 Marker — show a 4:3 safe area marker on the box.
    • Follow Name — show the mnemonic source names and tally state for the video shown in the box (ON), or show the name of the bus and BNC, or internally generated source, that the video comes from.
      Note: If the source is from a router that is being controlled by the switcher, the mnemonic name from the router is used. You can turn this off from the Source Configuration > Input Type menu.
    • Red Tally — show red tallies when on-air.
      Note: The B-side and utility buses of a split ME are included with the A-side for MultiViewer tallies. Refer to To Exclude the B-Side from TSL Tallies for information on excluding B-side/utility bus tallies.
    • Green Tally — show green tallies when on preview.
    • Tally Label — red or green boxes are shown inside the label area of the MultiViewer box
    • Tally Label Rev — the same as Label, but the placement of the tally boxes is swapped
    • Box Off — turns the box off in the layout. When a box is turned off it appears black on the MultiViewer and none of the other elements for that box are available.
    • Input Status (Input MultiViewer Only) — show the link number for non-sync or missing video inputs to the right of the source name. The SD, HD, and 12G UHDTV1 video signals show 1 in either yellow or red. The 3G UHDTV1 video signals (UHD-​2SI and UHD-​QSD) show the number of the link 1234 in either yellow or red (1=link 1, 2=link 2, etc.). A number is not shown if the video source is present and properly timed.
      • Yellow — the video source for this link is out of sync.
      • Red — the video source for this link is not present.
  7. Use the Transparency knob to adjust the transparency of the source label background.
  8. If you are setting up Head B, toggle the Anc Input button to select the source for the ancillary data that is embedded in the video stream for Head B.
    • Id02 — the ancillary data from the second source in the list is embedded in the video stream.
    • Id01 — the ancillary data from the first source in the list is embedded in the video stream.
    Note: The ancillary data of the first source in the list is embedded in Head A.
