Offset

An advanced feature in Viz Multiplay is that multiple video walls driven by separate Viz Engines can be merged into one “studio”. Each wall is controlled by one Viz Engine, and when content is played out on a GFX channel, each Viz Engine plays out the same content, but different parts of it, so the content can span over several video walls.

Each wall has a dimension and an offset in the total “studio” area.

Use the Offset Left and Offset Top values to adjust the wall positions “live”.

Color Correction on the GPU

Note:

Color Correction via the Studio Editor requires Viz Engine 3.8.2 or later, as well as NVIDIA Quadro 5000, 6000 or Plex 7000.

From the Studio Editor, RGB intensity can be controlled directly on the GPU for each video wall.

To use this feature, open the Studio Editor from within the Video Wall Designer, and adjust the RGB sliders for each of the renderers in the video wall setup.
