General

In this procedure, the usage of Layers inside the EMP will be elaborated.

Prerequisite

• Ensure that you are familiar with the Configuration Menu. For details on this menu, please refer to chapter “Configuration Menu”, as well as previous chapter.

Layers in an Event Master Processor

In the system there are banks of Video Processing Units, VPS´s. These VPS´s service the total output raster with layer resources. So 1, 4 or 8 outputs have the same number of layers to use as PIPs as the Mixing Background Layer is on top of this.

The VPU´s have a bandwidth setting that allow for a certain size of Resolution to enter the VPU and get scaled. Currently we have SL / DL and 4K as settings allowing for mx 2048 x 1200 / 2560 x 1600 / 4096 x 2400 respectively.

The higher the resolution, the higher the bandwidth of the input and output of the scaler, or as we call it, number of Links. (This can be found in the Aux Scaling settings too, where the highest setting is 8L, allowing for 8 Links of 2K resolution).

Here is an important difference from other systems, an EMP only scales the number of available layers based on the inputs size, not the output size as long we are inside a maximum of a 4K or 10MP output. Once passed the 10MP (MegaPixel), resources have to be added.
