General
Assigning input connectors to ba ckgrounds is v ery similar to creating Inputs as it was discussed in the previous section. Therefore,
the menus are also very similar and for the sake of simplicity the same menus are not going to be presented in this section.
One of the differences between Inputs and backgrounds is in the num ber of connectors that can be assigned to each one. As it
was presented in the previous section, an input can be defined from 1, 2 or 4 connectors. A background channel, however, c an be
defined by any number of connectors between 1 and 8. The same rules apply as in the Input definition: The connectors need be on
the same or adjacent card and be of the same type w ith the exception of D VI and HDMI that can be de fined in the same background.
Backgrounds can be cr eated from all inputs, and as many as you can fit.
Backgrounds can also be inserted through Dual Link capacity, forming a background of one or several 3840x1080 or similar reso-
lutions.
Background Adjustment panel description
If the s elected background is composed by more than one input connector, the adjustment menu will include a diagram of the con-
figuration.
The diagram defaults to a horizontal configuration. If a vertical configuration is desired, th e us er clicks in the circle next to the “V”
and then the Apply button.
The G rid (early) or the X by X (later) dialog is us ed for a background matching a two or more inputs in Horizontal.
Backgrounds must match the output of the Des tination they are created for. F uture software will allow for re-use of Bac kgrounds for
destination not matching the destinations resolution.
