6.3.1.1 OUTPUT MODE

3P

LAY

always supports up to 3 connected video sources, but the operator has a choice between

two different configurations of video streams for output.

The Output Mode must be chosen in the Administration Screen prior to creating a new session
(when you open an earlier session stored on the system, the original Output Mode setting is
retained).

1-OUT MODE

In this mode the 3P

LAY

operator selects just one primary stream to be displayed on all outputs.

During 1-Out operation, all three of 3P

LAY

s output connections transmit the same user-selected

stream.
