SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO OUTPUTS

As mentioned back in Section 3.1

, there are multiple monitor ports on the system’s backplane. The operating

system will have set one of these as the “main display”, and this is where the

Live Desktop

(the primary user

interface and Multiview on the same screen) appears.

Hint: You can choose which monitor is the “main display” by choosing

Administrator Mode, then clicking

Display under the Settings heading.

Three monitor ports (two in TC1 Pro)

located left of the SDI inputs on the backplane

are available to connect

more monitors or projection devices (etc.) for various broadcast or IMAG (Image Magnification) installations.
