Viewing Multiple Shots on the SDI Monitor
Lustre has several viewing modes that allow you to view and work with multiple shots in the Player, full-screen Player, and the SDI monitor.
You can view two frames simultaneously from the same shot or from a reference shot using split view. You can view up to 16 shots at the same time with multi-view.
Split view is useful for matching two shots or for copying colour correction parameters from one shot to another. With split view, you see half of each image; however, you can pan the images. The split can be horizontal or vertical.
The two frames displayed in split view are the current frames on Playheads A and B.
Press F5.
The last used view is displayed--either split view or multi-view. Split view displays two frames split in half while multi-view displays the entire frame of one or more shots.
If multi-view is displayed, press F4 to activate split view.
The current frames on Playheads A and B are displayed either horizontally or vertically, depending on the last displayed orientation.

Hint: Press F3 to view the reference image (Playhead B) and the shot you are working on (Playhead A) in separate viewers.
If needed, pan either frame by clicking the right mouse button and dragging in the image. Pan both frames simultaneously by dragging in either image with the middle mouse button.
Multi-view is useful for viewing your sequence in a Storyboard format while developing continuity between shots. With multi-view, you see the entire image, and you can toggle between viewing 2, 4, 9, or 16 shots.
Select up to 16 shots. See Selecting Shots in the Storyboard.
Note: If you do not select any shots, you will see the first shots in the sequence in multi-view.
Press F5.
The last used view is displayed--either split view or multi-view. Split view displays two frames split in half while multi-view displays the entire frame of one or more shots.
If split view is displayed, press F3 to activate multi-view.
The last used multi-view mode is displayed. Either 2, 4, 9, or 16 shots are displayed.
If needed, press F3 one or more times to change the number of shots displayed.
The first two shots displayed are the current frames on Playheads A and B. The rest of the shots displayed are the selected shots, displayed sequentially from left to right in the order of selection.
Note: If no shots are selected, after the first two shots, shots starting at the third shot in the cut are displayed sequentially from left to right.
If needed, pan the displayed shots by clicking the middle mouse button and dragging in any image.
If needed, switch playheads and navigate to another frame on either playhead.
If needed, make a new selection of shots while in multi-view, and then press F6 to update multi-view with the new selection.
To turn off multi-view, do one of the following:
Press F5 to return to a single image.
Press F4 to return to split view.
You can use split view and multi-view in the SDI monitor.
Click Editing, and then click PlayOut.
The PlayOut menu appears.
Make sure GFX SDI is enabled.
