7.14 Configuration Menu > Add Screen Destinations & Layers

General

In this procedure, you will Add Screen Destinations from the defined outputs.

Prerequisite
Note: If more than one Destination is utilized, repeat the below steps until all Destinations are added.
Add Screen Destinations
  1. Click on the Destination tab to define destinations for the configured outputs.
  2. From the diagram area click on the output that you want to be part of the new screen destination.
  3. Click on the +Add Screen Destination blue button to assign the output to a new screen destination.
  4. When the destination is created a green rectangle, with a label at the bottom of it, appears next to the unit diagram.
  5. If more than one output is to be assigned to the destination, such as a wide-screen projection blend, drag and drop any additional outputs into the destination rectangle. You will observe that the destination size is automatically updated as new outputs are added to the destination.
Note: An EMP allows only a certain mix of Screen (Program) Destinations and AUX Destinations. All Outputs can be AUX Destinations, or all Outputs can be assigned to Screen Destinations. Screen Destination sizes are determined by the available amount of pixel canvas, not by the number of Outputs assigned to a Screen Destination.
Add Layers to Destinations

With a screen destination selected, click on the Adjust tab that is located on the top of the adjustment panel.

  1. Under the Assign sub-menu scroll down until you see the Layers section.

    There are three radio buttons for layer size (SL, DL, and 4K) and two buttons for layer type (Mix and Single). Chose the combination of radio buttons from the two choices for the layer size and type you wish to add. The default selection is SL Mix Layer.
