MBOX ® STUDIO USER MANUAL 15
OPERATING MODES
Mbox Studio Modes
Mbox Studio has two modes of operation: Studio (Single Output), and Studio Pan Wide (Panoramic Wide). The
primary purpose of the operating modes is to configure the screen arrangement and required Art-Net universes.
Note: Mbox Studio modes are not compatible with Mbox Designer or Mbox Extreme profiles.
The Mbox Setup tab, covered later in this manual, is used to change the operating mode. (Refer to "Setup" on
page 38). The modes function as follows:
Studio Mode (Single Output)
The Studio mode provides one video output from the server. (This is the most common mode of operation.) The
output has one set of Master, Keystone, and Shutter fixtures. It can display up to 8 content layers.

Studio Pan Wide Mode (Panoramic Wide)
The Studio Pan Wide mode provides two video outputs from the server. The two outputs create a single display
surface and the overlap and blending between the two outputs can be adjusted. Outputs can be arranged either
horizontally or vertically. The two outputs share one set of Master, Keystone, and Shutter fixtures. Any of the server's
8 possible content layers can be displayed on either screen or across the overlap with a portion on each screen.
