Create and configure channels

Channels make your sources available for viewing and recording. You choose how you want to configure your

sources to make channels.

Networked VGA Grid gives you a lot of control over how your sources are streamed. You are not limited to

creating a Channel list that is a one-to-one reflection of your Sources list.

You can add the same source to multiple single-source or multi-source layout channels.

For example, you could use the same source in all three of these situations, concurrently:

as the only source in Channel 1 at 1080p, 30fps, 10,000 kbps;

as the only source in Channel 2 at 720p, 15 fps, 2,000 kbps;

and added to Channel 3 as part of a multi-source layout with picture in picture.

All channels, even if they re-use a source, can be streamed and recorded simultaneously. Using the example

above, you could record any combination of those three channels, and stream one, two, or all three of them

using any available streaming methods.

This section covers the following topics for creating channels:

While configuring channels, consider opening a live preview of the channel in another tab or browser window
