2 On the File menu, click New.
An empty room with a black background appears in the main window.
3 Add four displays, and assign your system’s four output heads as illustrated below.
See Adding Displays on page 211, for more information.

Changing Room Display Resolutions , on page 221, and Configuring the HD-SDI
Monitoring Output Format , on page 222).
5 Position the four displays as a tight 2 × 2 grid, using the Remove horizontal space,

• On the monitor wall, you may notice a lack of fluidity in the mouse pointer
movement at the junctions between quadrants.
• If you are configuring this room for a single quad link 4K UHD display, you
may want to disable the dashboard for the displays associated with the
top-left, top-right and bottom-left quadrants in XEdit, and leave it enabled
for the display associated with the bottom-right quadrant only
(see
Disabling the Dashboard on page 223).
Top left OUTPUT A, Head 1 Top right OUTPUT B, Head 1
Bottom left OUTPUT A, Head 2 Bottom right OUTPUT B, Head 2
Note: A seamless output is only supported at the SDI monitoring outputs,
which must be configured for a progressive scan format. If you connect a
4K UHD monitor to the multiviewer’s HDMI outputs instead, you might
notice a discontinuity in the image at the junctions between the quadrants.
