Multi-window adjustment
In each of the multi-window options (E-H) above it is possible to adjust the size and position of
each window, and even to switch the windows off. To begin, select the window option which is
closest to your dsired layout and then enter the menu using the remote control. Now select
‘Window Setup’ and you will be presented with the choice to adjust each channel 1-4 and the
option to store or recall favourite configurations.
To adjust the layout, begin by highlighting a channel to select it, then press ‘OK’. You can adjust
the vertical and horizontal size and position of the window using the ‘Size’ and ‘Position’ menu
options. You can also turn the channel on or off using the image output menu. Adjustments can
be made in single pixel, ten pixel and one hundren pixel implements giving you absolute control
of the window. If you make an error you can quickly return othte default value for the window by
selecting window reset.
As an example using a 1080p display starting with window E selected, by adjuting the size of
channels 1 and 3 to 1920 pixels wide by 540 pixels high and turning off the output channels of 2
and 4 you would achieve the layout below.

User Manual English
When adjusting the position of a channel, the horizontal position is from left to right of the display, starting
from the left edge of the channel. The vertical position is from top to bottom of the display, starting at the
top edge of the channel. The following example shows the default layout for each channel in window G
and an adjusted version made by changing the values of each channel.
Chromakey
This special function is designed for picture on picture overlapping. It works using channel 1 as the
background and channel 2 as the top layer. The top layers background colour is usually a single colour
which can be easily removed using the OSD menu. The RGB settings for channel 2 video can be adjusted
to determine where the layer will be transparent making channel 1 visible. When input 1 or 2 has no source
connection, a warning message will appear on the OSD.
