Rules for assigning Sources into layers
The size of the layer scaler mode has to be greater or equal to the size of the source. For example, if the
source is a 2K input, the layer scaler mode needs to be Single Link (SL) or more. If the source is 4K and the
layer is only a SL layer, then the source can’t be placed into the Layer. If the Source is a 2K input and the layer
is a 4K layer, the source can be placed into the Layer.
Scaler mode for layers are set in the Configuration Page, towards the bottom.
Z-Order
The layer priority (z-order) is based by the order they are added in destination menu. The layers that are
added first have the lowest priority. For example; layer1 is lower priority than layer2. Layer2 is lower priority
than layer3.
Freeze
A layer can be individually frozen by selecting it and clicking the freeze button in the bottom of the workspace
menu.
Note: When a layer is frozen, the outline and the text
become blue and an icon of a snow flake appears in
the bottom right hand corner. Also note that a frozen
source will not show the same indication.
Layer adjustments in the Preview Screen
Users can also click and drag on a layer to move it around inside the Preview screen. A layer can also be
moved with the keyboard’s arrow keys.
Size adjustments can be performed by clicking and dragging the vertical edges, horizontal edges, or any
corner of the layer. Any size adjustment maintains the aspect ratio.
These operations can also be performed on multiple layers. Activate Multiple Select to “Multiple Select On”
below the workspace to the right. Now each layer can be selected or unselected with a click or touch input.
Selected layers are highlighted with a blue border.
AUX Destination Canvas
Assigning inputs/sources to AUX destinations works the same way as in the screen destinations within the
constraints of the AUX destinations. Only one input can be assigned to each AUX destination and it is always
at full screen by default. Assigning a new input to the destination, overrides the previous input.
Scaler mode for Auxes are set in the Configuration Page, towards the bottom
