Displaying Multiple Views

You can display up to four viewports at a time in the image window of most modules. Multiple viewports are convenient for setting channel values, working in Schematic view, and previewing your results all at the same time without having to switch views.

NoteThe Resize module supports two viewports; other modules support up to four viewports.

You can apply a different 3D LUT to each viewport. See Working with Multiple Views and 3D LUTs .

To view multiple viewports:

1. In a module that supports multiple viewports, click View.
2. Select an option from the Viewport Layout box.

   Select: | To view:
   --- | ---
   1-up | A single viewport (Alt+1).
   2-up | Two viewports, side-by-side (Alt+2).
   3-up wide | Three viewports, side-by-side (Alt+3).
   3-up | Three viewports, two side-by-side, and one on top (Alt+3).
   4-up | Four viewports, two up and two down (Alt+4).

To display views in multiple viewports:

1. Do one of the following:
   - Place the cursor over the applicable viewport and press its associated hotkey.
   - Click a viewport to select it and then select an option from the View box.

Displaying Widgets in Selected Viewports

If you are working in multiple viewports, you can display widgets such as icons, crop boxes, and 3D histograms in all viewports or in a selected viewport.

To display widgets in selected viewports:

1. In a module that supports multiple views, click View.
2. From the Widget Display box, select Widget Sel to display widgets in the selected viewport, or select Widget All to display widgets in all viewports.

Changing the Multiview Layout

When you select a multiple viewport layout, a default layout appears, and each viewport is set to display a default view. You can change both the default layout and the views in each viewport to suit your needs.

To change the default viewport layout:

1. Do one or more of the following:
   - Hold the cursor over the lines dividing the image window and drag. The current zoom/pan settings of affected viewports are unchanged. (You can Ctrl-click the Home button to set the width of the frame to match its viewport.)
   - Hold the cursor over the lines dividing the image window and Ctrl-drag. The current zoom/pan settings automatically change so the frame matches its viewport's width.
   - Select the viewport to make it current (a yellow border indicates the current viewport) and then select a view option (for example, Front) or press a hotkey (for example, F1).
2. To restore the default settings, select an option from the Reset box.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   Reset Layout | Restore the default layout for the current viewport layout option. You can also Alt-click a viewport border.
   Reset All | Restore the default layout for all viewport layout options.

Synchronizing Current Frame Display Across All Viewports

By default, when you scrub or jog a clip, only the current viewport (a yellow border indicates the current viewport) is updated. The other viewports continue to display the last frame at which they were parked until you release the cursor. However, you can set all viewports to be updated in sync with the current viewport.

To synchronize the current frame display across all viewports:

1. Display the View menu.
2. Select an option from the Viewport Update box.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   Update All | Update all viewports to display the same frame as the current viewport.
   Update Sel | Update only the current viewport. Other viewports continue to display the last frame at which they were parked only once you release the cursor.
