Mixes Tab: Mix Configuration
Index Number
Mixes use unique index numbers with a value of 033 - 255. As with outputs, this index number is used both for
organizational purposes and also for assigning layers to the mix when programming. (Refer to "Using Outputs and Mixes
with Layers" on page 74) When a mix is added, it is given the next available index number. Mix index numbers may
be changed at any time, keeping in mind that two mixes can't have the same index number and that any programming
that assigns a layer to an mix by index number will need to be modified if the index numbers change.
Name
Each Mix is given a default name when it is added - "Mix ###" where the "###" represents the unique index number of
the mix. Mix names can be modified as desired.
Size, Origin, and Rotation
Mixes have a size (width and height in pixels), an origin (based on their top-left corner), and can be rotated.
Mix sizing is only adjustable using the width and height text fields, but mix position may be adjusted either in the
corresponding text fields or by dragging the mix on the layout view. When making text edits to size or position, values
should be whole numbers, not decimal values. Rotation values can use numbers with up to two decimal places.
Note: Outputs are shown on the Mix tab for reference. But their properties are only editable on the Outputs tab.

Outputs and Mixes Tab Layout View Navigation Controls

The layout views on the Outputs and Mixes tabs have identical controls for navigation and layout. These controls allow
the layout view to be scaled and scrolled, and also provide aids for arranging outputs and mixes.
There are four ways to adjust the sizing of the layout view: the zoom slider, the mouse or trackpad scroll controls, and
the two buttons. The zoom slider adjusts the view sizing in a simple manner. The "zoom to surface" button resizes the
view to show the entire global surface. The "zoom to selection" button resizes the view so that the currently selected
output or mix fills the view. When using scroll controls on a mouse or trackpad to zoom the view, the cursor needs to be
over the minimap view. The orange box on the minimap is a representation of the portion of the global surface in view.
Scrolling will change the size the size of the orange box and therefore the zoom level of the layout view. The layout view
will also recenter based on where the cursor is when zooming.
