Working with Composite Monitors
Creating a Composite Monitor
Composite monitors encapsulate a number of primary elements (e.g. a video monitor, one
or two audio monitors, a UMD, and a time code) that can then be managed as a single
object. The following example outlines the basic rules to follow, in order to create
composite monitors that can be resized elegantly.
To create a composite monitor
1 Open an existing layout or create a new one.
2 Click the Composite button on the toolbar, and then click the layout. Resize the
empty composite box approximately, to a size that will be appropriate for the display
where it is to appear.

3 Right-click the empty box, and then click Unlock on the shortcut menu.
Notice that the handles around the box boundary line become orange.

4 Add a monitor to the composite, either using a button on the toolbar or dragging an
element from a widget library. For example, click the Video monitor button
on the
toolbar, and then click inside the composite to add a video monitor.
Note: If you double-click a composite monitor, the handles also become
orange. However, in such a case, you cannot move or resize individual
components within the composite (see
Unlocking a Composite Monitor, on
page 260).
