To Assign Sources to a Video Processor MultiViewer Layout

Note: The Input MultiViewer is restricted to the 20 inputs to the MultiProcessor Input board.

Press HOME > Setup > MultiViewer.
In the Layouts area, select the layout that you want to assign video sources to.
Press Layout Editor > Source.
Use the Id knob to select the MultiViewer source that you want to assign a video source to.

Each layout has access to 32 sources. These MultiViewer sources must be selected for the layout before they can be assigned to any of the boxes on the layout.

Note: The ancillary data of the first source in the list is embedded in Head A and the ancillary data of the first or second source is embedded in Head B. This only applies to the Video Processor MultiViewer.
Use the Source Group and Source knobs to select the video source you want to assign to the selected MultiViewer source (Id).

Note: Some internal video sources cannot be routed to the MultiViewer directly (using the ME Bus Follows for example). When this occurs the video is replaced with a Source Not Supported By MultiViewer message.

Note: If you are selecting a UHD-2SI input, only BNCs 1, 5, 9, 13, or 17 can be selected. The UHD-2SI encoding method uses four 1080 video streams to create the UHDTV1 image. The remaining three video inputs are not shown on the list. The MultiViewer only outputs in 1080.

Note: If you assign a UHD-2SI source to a MultiViewer box, only sub image 3 of the source is shown.

Tip: Look Ahead Preview can be used as a source in the MultiViewer to replace both ME PV, and ME PGM. When assigned to a MultiViewer box, the Look Ahead Preview displays the program output of the ME if the ME is not on air. When the ME is on-air, the Look Ahead Preview displays the preview output of the ME; however, the box is not tallied green for preview. This reduces the need to dedicate multiple boxes the program and preview outputs. Refer to Look Ahead Preview for more information on this feature.

Note: Sources 21 to 32 are fixed and available to all heads.
