3 outputs with different sizes

Post by moha20106 »

Hi all,
I have a project with 3 output displays with different sizes
I can map them all with output>advanced option, by creating 3 screens
My question is :
How to set the resolution in composition>settings When the 3 displays have different resolutions?

Im talking about 3 LED displays connected with 3 Video processors, each LED display have different size
All video processors connected with the GPU card outputs
Thanks

I would suggest you use the highest resolution of your three outputs.

In the advanced output you ll need to decide how to handle the different resolutions....

You ll need 3 Slices grabbing the input you want. These slices can be manipulated in the output section to fit your needs.

Or you can create a composition that is combination of the three outputs and use Slice Transform with the slices that correspond to your various displays to position your content on the final output. Here is an quick example:

Thats also a solid and very elegant solution and there might me some more.

It depends a little bit if you want to show different Content on every Screen or the same and only want to change the aspect / area of the output

Thanks dear for your reply,
With your method, i have to assign each display to one layer
Example :
The red display will use layer 1 only
The blue will use layer 2only...etc
Am i right?

You can use the SliceTransform to quickly assign the layers to the slice you need them.

you also can use SliceTransform on the Comp or the Group Lvl... so you will be more flexible.

You can use layers but I personally use groups for my various screens.

What the purpose for using Groups, than using my method?
Now I'm trying to add groups, but no different ,
Can you please explain for me, I'm still new with Arena
