General

Output configurations that are created in the previous menus are assigned to destination in the Destination Panel.

Description

Destination configuration menu is accessed by clicking on the Destination tab.

This menu provides: A list of all the destinations (Screen, Aux) already created on the system (e.g. ScreenDest1) A button to add Screen Destinations. A button to add AUX Destinations. A button to delete unused or obsolete Destination(s).

The user can assign Outputs to Output configurations—manually or automatically—and delete Outputs from Output configurations.

Destination formats

A few words about destination formats:

• For Screen Destinations: The format of any Output configuration added to a Screen Destination is updated to match the format of the Screen Destination. If the first Output configuration in a Screen Destination is deleted and a new Output configuration is added, then the format of the new Output configuration becomes the format of the Screen Destination.
• For AUX Destinations: An AUX destination always assumes the format of the Output configuration that is assigned to it.

Rules

The following rules apply when defining a Screen / AUX Destination configuration:

1. Destinations accept only the same Output connector types.

   SDI and HDMI connectors cannot be mixed in the same destination.

2. Destinations accept Output configurations only with the same number of Output connectors.

   Output configurations with a different number of connectors cannot be combined. For example if the first Output configuration added is an HDMI output configuration with two (2) connectors (grouped connector), an HDMI output configuration with one (1) connector cannot be added to the same destination.

3. One cannot add an output configuration to a destination if it is not capable of using the Output format selected. For example: An Output configuration has a total connector capacity of DL; it cannot be assigned to a 4K destination.
4. Each card can support up to four (4) screen destinations (program outputs), or up to four (4) AUX Outputs, or two (2) AUX and two (2) Screen Outputs.
5. ALL outputs can be AUX Destinations, and all Outputs can be assigned to Screen Destinations.
6. Screen Destination sizes are determined by the available amount of pixel canvas, not by the number of Outputs assigned to a Screen Destination.

Color codes

Screen Destinations and AUX Destinations are represented graphically in the Diagram area.

	Green: Output(s) have been assigned to the destination
	Yellow: Output(s) have not been assigned to the destination.

It is possible that after the unit is turned on, the hardware configuration can be altered making certain Destinations to have invalid Output configurations.

In this case the Destination in the System Diagram becomes grey and adjustment are disabled. In this case the destination needs to be deleted and new one created to reflect the existing output configuration.

Assigning Screen Destinations

1. Add Screen Destinations and AUX Destination, using the add Destination buttons.
2. Assign Outputs to the Destinations.
3. Layers may then be added to Screen Destinations.

Manipulating Screen Destinations in the Programming Menu

Use the Programming menu to manipulate Screen Destinations.

1. Set the AOI Markers to “Off.”

   Turning on the AOI Markers "On" or "Off" affects how the system-wide functions (the Layer alignment buttons, including Fill H, Fill V and Fill H/V) work. With the AOI Markers set to "On," the Layer alignment buttons align the Layer into the Screen Destination in which the center of the Layer is located. With the AOI Markers set to "Off," the Layer alignment buttons align the Layer in the entire Screen Destination.

2. Drag and drop Inputs from the Resources area to desired Destinations.

3. Apply system-wide functions, User Keys, or Presets to Layers in the Screen Destinations.

   • Local Layers must be selected and effects applied in the appropriate Screen Destination. The EMTS displays the result of the applied effects in the Screen Destination, but the Local Layers must be selected and effects applied in the appropriate Screen Destination.

Note: The Adjustment area lists Screen Layers that have been added to a Screen Destination.

More about AUX Destinations

Based on the Aux Capacity, the user can create AUX Destination on an output card. The AUX capacity defines the Input capacity and scaler size of the AUX.

All output cards can be Auxes while only any 2 output cards with a total of 8 outputs can be Program outputs

Note: Widescreen destinations can be downscaled by the Aux and based on the capacity it can accommodate up to eight (8) outputs worth of widescreen.

Manipulating AUX Destinations in the Programming Menu

Use the Programming menu to manipulate AUX Destinations.
