  • Page 16 Setting Up Layouts The Layouts menu is used to create physical screen layouts which can consist of a number of physical displays. Displays can be identical or of different sizes and resolutions. By default the display will be zoomed in to around 30% which is suitable for normal type layout setups. To see the complete layout area, use the Zoom control to zoom out to around 4%.
  • Page 17 By selecting one of the output displays an Add Output dialogue allows you change the Actual Size of the display to adjust the display size for bezels and under scans. You can also change the Display Type which will also change the setting in the General/Outputs menu.
  • Page 18 Setting up output designs Single Screen In the layouts menu select a free Layout. Multiple Output displays can be added within the 8000 x 8000 units of measure. Output displays can have Rotation applied. All Output displays can be independently moved, scales and rotated.

  • Page 19: Video Walls

    Video Walls Base Size (Only used for different display/screen size layout in one canvas) Base Size is used to make layouts consisting of different sized monitors of the same resolution optimising the layout resolution to the system’s internal operation. By default Base Size is set to zero which turns off the function. However, when we start to work with a series of differently sized displays but with the same resolution we need to set our Base Size which is a useful aid in producing the required positioning and sizing.

  • Page 20: Creating Video Walls

    Creating Video Walls To create a video wall Canvas add two or more Outputs to a Layout. By default they will appear overlaid over the top of each other. Best practice is to move the screens on the Layout so that the centre marker is displayed in the centre of the screens.
  • Page 21 Slanted Displays One of CORIOmaster’s strengths is to be able display images on rotated, or slanted, displays. In this section we will examine how the following display was created to illustrate how we create complex slanted screen layouts. Screen Information: Monitors are Samsung 460UXN-3 Monitor size: 1049.4 (H) X 602.6 (V) Display area: 1018.08 mm (H) x 572.67 mm (V)
  • Page 22 Central Displays The vertical display in this example uses the display area from the spec sheet, our Horizontal size (H) in the layout is 1018 and our Vertical size (V) in layout is 573. Since it is centered in the layout, H and V Position in the layout are 0 and 0.

  • Page 23: Projector Alignment

    Projector Alignment The layout grid can also be used for setting up projectors for edge blending. This time however the gridlines should be spaced smaller than the projector resolution so that the outputs overlap on the layout. The maximum overlap is 500 pixels. Once the layout has been constructed and output types set to projector the projector alignment button should be pressed.
  • Page 24 Once all the projectors have been aligned the next stage is to correct for and brightness non linearity at the blends. This will adjust the brightness on ALL of the blends. By careful adjustment the user should be able to find the correct value that removes any brightness rise or fall originally seen. Linearity Correction allows us to control the overlap between the two projectors.
  • Page 25 Setting Up Canvases We have already seen that CORIOmaster can have four active Layouts. These are further defined by our four Canvasses which are used to arrange our Windows or inputs. To give flexibility on the internal routing of our Canvas designs – any of the Layouts and Canvasses can be linked so that changes can be made across one or many Layouts.
  • Page 26 This will display the Add Window box for you to select the quality of Window you want to apply. You can also set resize settings in this window. EHQ is normally used for full screen windows on large displays, HQ is our normal window size and Preview is used for monitoring applications such as thumbnails in video walls.
  • Page 27 Zoom All – will zoom the Canvas to include all of your Windows. Centre Canvas Origin – centres the Canvas on your Windows design Window Management – displays the name of the current Window selected plus allows you to change this default name.
  • Page 28 To set up Grids select Grid Setup below the Take button. Grids are used to quickly and accurately line up Windows on our Canvas. The size, Rotation and Offset of the Grid are used to define the Grid. Window can be used to set Window sizes.

  • Page 29: Setting Up Presets

    Setting Up Presets When you select the Presets menu you will see a blank list. To recall system Presets you select Get All Presets. Your CORIOmaster will then download all of the Presets from the mainframe to the control software. By default the Presets are numbered from Preset2 to Preset21.

  • Page 30: Live Mode

    Live Mode The Live menu is used to control your processor in changing environment where, in addition to changing Presets, you also want to change the sources of Windows. Your Presets are shown at the top of the Live menu and, as with the Presets menu, allow you to change between your various settings quickly.
  • Page 31 Comm Data The Comm Data menu shows a rolling display of system activity. It also has the facility for entering Control Commands. Some useful commands are:- Command Action System.backupToSDCard() Backup settings to SD card. This will do a complete back up of all settings from the system flash memory onto the internally mounted Micro SD card designed for user storage.
