Configuring Multi Viewer - Sony XVS-9000 User Manual

Configuring Multi Viewer

The multi viewer is a function that splits the screen for
display of multiple images at the same time.
On the XVS-9000, four multi viewer systems (1 to 4) are
available, whereas on the XVS-8000/7000/6000, two
multi viewer systems (1 to 2) are available. You can
specify the screen layout and signal assignments for each
system independently.
Notes
• Use output connector boards (XKS-S8165/XKS-S8167/
XKS-S9167/XKS-T8165/XKS-Q8166) installed for use
with the multi viewer for the multi viewer outputs.
On the XVS-9000, multi viewer outputs must be
assigned to output connectors (see page 445).
• On the XVS-8000/7000/6000, the following restrictions
apply in 4K format.
- In 3840×2160P SQD and 3840×2160PsF SQD, only
split-by-4 screen can be selected. The sub images are
displayed using 16 small-sized sub screens, which
have the same limitations as sub screens of a split-by-
16 screen.
- In 3840×2160P SQD, output is in 1080P signal format.
In 3840×2160PsF SQD, output is in 1080PsF signal
format.
- In 3840×2160P 2SI, the output signal format can be set
to 3840×2160P or 1080P. The image may be
momentarily distorted if the output signal format is
changed.
• When the screen is split by 10, 13, or 16, the following
restrictions apply to the small-sized sub screens.
- If there is no input signal on one sub screen in a
vertical pair of sub screens, it takes approximately
three seconds before the image on the other sub screen
in the pair is displayed normally.
For example, in a split-by-16 screen, the following
pairs of sub screens become the target for control:
1 & 5, 2 & 6, 3 & 7, 4 & 8, 9 & 13, 10 & 14, 11 & 15,
and 12 & 16
- The image refresh rate is reduced, so rapid changes in
images may not be displayed smoothly.
