Create Render Surface & Outputs

*A Render Surface is a rendering area where all the media will be composited.
A V-Node needs a Render Surface affected to it to be able to display content.
An Output then uses a portion of the Render Surface. This portion is defined by the MAP.

Create a Render Surface

• Let’s calculate the size we need :

• Add a Render Surface with a size of 7296×1080 pixels.

*Note that the input for resolutions accept mathematical operators.

Create the Outputs

• Add these 4 Outputs into the V-Node

*If you are on a laptop in demo mode you can only display one output at a time, but everything you prepare here will work when you load this project into a real Modulo Pi Kinetic server.

• Select all the outputs.
• In the Shape tab set the Test Pattern to Softedge. This will set the selected test pattern on all the selected outputs.

*There are many cases where setting a value while having multiple elements selected will set that value on every element.
