This panel hosts tabbed panes, and the first one is labeled

Output

. This is where the signals sent to each of

the video output busses designated

MIX

1-4

(or

Mix 1

and

2

, for TC Mini) as well as the

Stream

output are

configured. There are various decisions to make for each output:

What video source will you assign to the output?

What audio source will accompany it on digital connections that carry both signals?

Which video format will be transmitted?

And so on …

Hint: Resolution and color adjustments for devices connected to the

various ‘monitor ports’ on the backplane

are located in the Display Settings panel, accessible from the Workspaces menu in the main Dashboard.

the primary video
