Configure Multiview screen

Once the new screen matrix is created it needs to be configured. Hover over the desired screen and click the <edit layout> icon. Position the cursor over the desired cell and left click to open the <widget list>. Notice the cell turns blue. Depending on which cell you selected you may see some inward or outward facing arrows. Clicking an outward facing arrow expands the cell. Clicking an inward facing arrow reduces its size. The corner arrows expand or reduce the cell by factor of 4 maintaining the same aspect ratio. Arrows are only populated if the expand/reduce operation is permissible. For example, in the figure below there are no inward facing arrows showing in the smaller widget cell. That indicates the cell cannot be shrunk. Likewise the larger cell does not have any out facing arrows at the bottom, because it is at the bottom of the screen and cannot be expanded in that direction.

Info Tip

Cells may be merged to create a larger cell but not subdivided to create a smaller cell. When creating a new Screen be sure to create one with enough cells.

Screen widgets

There are ten widget icons.

Player: displays low resolution thumbnail of the channel. Use the right hand pane to select the desired channel. At the bottom are <Advanced> options to display audio bar graph, faults and closed captioning. In Multiview the player is always live.

Quarantine: a modified streaming viewer similar to the viewer in other MIS suites. However, unlike other widgets only one instance is supported. Click the <inspect> icon on one of the <Thumbnail> Players to play in the <Quarantine> player.

Clock: defaults to your computer’s system time but can be changed to use any time zone by using the right hand panel.

Loudness: displays the loudness graph.

Map: allows you to display faults by region. Select the region from the selection at the right side of the page.

Path: displays the channel name but not an active thumbnail. Click on the bullseye to open the quarantine player.

Faults: displays the fault status of one or more channels. Select the channels to monitor from the right hand panel. Icon is green and turns red under fault condition.
