Networked VGA Grid User Guide 3-1 Create and configure channels
Create a multi-source layout
A multi-source layout channel displays the output from multiple sources in one viewing screen. When a
channel displays multiple sources you can specify how video streams are positioned on the screen. You can
display each source side by side, or position one over the other in a more traditional picture in picture layout.
If using content coming to the Networked VGA Grid from a VGA Grid HD Encoder in a multi-view
channel, make sure the encoder is added as a local channel. See Add an encoder as a source for a
multi-source channel.
To create a multi-source layout:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See Connect to the Admin
Interface .
2. Login as admin.
3. Ensure at least two video input sources are connected to the system.
4. From the web interface, scroll to the Channels menu option.
5. Click Add channel located at the bottom of the list; a new channel is created and its Sources page
opens.
A multiple source channel is named Channel 1, Channel 2, etc. by default; you must specify a
name during configuration. Refer to Rename a channel
6. Click the Use video source drop-down menu; a list of available sources appears.
7. Select Multiple sources; a source drop-down menu and source preview window appears.
