Setting a Multi Viewer

A multi viewer is a function that splits the screen for
display of multiple images at the same time.
You can set a hardware block (physical block) of the
switcher for a multi viewer and assign it to a channel.
When the system signal format is 2160P, you can use two
multi viewers (multi viewer 1, multi viewer 2). When the
system signal format is 1080P or 1080i, you can use four
multi viewers (multi viewer 1, multi viewer 2, multi
viewer 3, multi viewer 4).
Note
The multi viewer output image has a 2-frame delay.
