When launching Just Control for the first time, you will be asked to select a multi-viewer layout, after configuring a Device with the Setup Wizard. You can save and adjust this layout (Template) later at any time. Furthermore, you can reset the given layout to start from scratch, and it is possible to split and join Channel Viewers depending on the given Screen Resolution.
On this page, you will learn:
how to change/adjust the multi-viewer layout
how to split and join Channel Viewers
and how to reset the current layout
Select a multi-viewer layout
Once you are done with the Device Wizard, you will be asked to select a multi-viewer layout for your Just Control Template. Use the mouse to select the appropriate number of Channel Viewers, and then click on the bottom right Channel Viewer when you're done. Here are some examples:
Note that you have to finish that step by clicking on a single Channel Viewer area, as indicated by the orange arrow in the above screenshots.
Basic 2x2 multi-viewer layout
In this example, we will use a “2x2” multi-viewer layout. If the connection to your Device has already been established, you can connect the relevant Channels from the “Connections” tab (Inspector).
Open the Inspector by clicking on the highlighted blue icon on the right side of Just Control and switch to the “Connections” tab. Then you can add available Channels to the Channel Viewer area. Just drag and drop a Channel to a free Channel Viewer.
Split and Join a Channel Viewer
You can split each Channel Viewer into four or more Channel Viewers to be able to add more Channels to the multi-viewer area. You can either use the “Split To 4 (2x2)” or the “Split To Any” option within the “View” menu of Just Control.
Please note that you need to select a Channel Viewer first to use one of the mentioned options above.
Channel Viewer - Split To 4 (2x2)
Select a Channel Viewer and select “Split To 4 (2x2)” within the “View” menu, or use the keyboard shortcut “Command + Shift + S” to split the selected Channel Viewer into four new Channel Viewers.
