to connect to Standard Definition (SD) devices. The video standard and resolution for both
input and output must match, and the corresponding settings set before beginning a 3P
LAY
session.
Output Mode – choose which output mode (1-Out or 3-Out) is best for your current

settings established in this pane.
Clicking Start Session (at lower-right) launches the 3P

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.
