MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 197
Basic Mode
Setup of Output and Keystone/Warp
In Basic Mode, the first step to configuring the output is to select the number of outputs that each physical video
output on the Mbox server computer is using. Depending on the computer used, each Mbox server can have up to
two (2) physical video outputs. Through the use of multi-head adapters, each of these video outputs can be split into
up to three (3) outputs. (For this purpose, use a dual/triple head adapter product such as Matrox TripleHead2GO.)
Even if you are not using a multi-head adapter, these settings are required to configure a keystone or warp setup.
To set Output and Keystone/Warp:
Step 1. Select Identity 1 at left column of the Projection Editor window. This should correspond to the first output of
your Mbox server.
At the bottom of the Projection Editor window, you can enter a custom name for the currently selected item.
Step 2. Click Configure button to open the Output Setup pane. On this pane, the current Screen Size (equivalent to
the FullScreen Mode resolution on the Setup tab in the Mbox software) for that physical video output from
the Mbox server. Below this you will see a box for overlap, a pop-up to select Single, Dual, or Triple output,
and if the Mbox software is using a Panoramic mode, a checkbox labeled "Combined"
Step 3. Using pop-up menu, select the number of outputs that this physical video output is split to (1, 2x1, 3x1, or
2x2). If there is an overlap required, enter that value (in pixels) in the box. The "Combined" checkbox should
be checked if these outputs will be blended and overlapped with outputs from the other physical video
output of the Mbox server (in panoramic modes only). When the settings are correct, click OK button.
Note: This explanation will proceed using a Dual Output setup. Your particular system may be configured differently.
