A note about Multiviewer and Linked Systems
In an E2 linked setup as you create destinations and assign lay ers the E vent Master Toolset determines the be st resource allocation
for your configuration.
In ord er to make optimal use of expansion links, screens in linked E2 systems must be viewed on the Multiviewer in the E2 where
the Event Master Toolset has allocated it.
Optimal allocation may cause a screen allocation to move from one E2 to another as screen resources ar e changed.
This may result in a screen already placed in a Multiviewer to not be operative. The Event M aster Toolset will change the UMD text
to “Screen not viewable on this MVR”.
All you need to do is delete the s creen from the Multiviewer displaying this message and place it on the other Multiviewer.
A note about Backgorunds
Background so urces bigger than one unit shou ld still co me in to one of the units, not split between unit as in earlier systems.
