Destinations creation

The first step in setting up the Mixer is to create one or several destination(s).

*Info : A destination is a pixel area in which we will be able to display and mix sources using the Mixer Engines (ME).
One ME can contain only display one source at a time.
There is no limit to the number of Mix Engines per destinations.

Creating Destinations

For our setup we will create the following 3 destinations :

1. Main screen: 3456×1080
2. Reminder screens: 1920×1080
3. Confidence monitor: 1920×1080
   

In Kinetic Designer, open the Mixer panel and in the Destinations tab click on the +Dest. button to add a Destination.

Select the Destination and in the Editor panel change the name and size of the Destination.

Repeat this process for the other two destinations.

Displaying destinations

Destinations need to be placed in a Timeline in order to be displayed on a V-Node.
It is good practice to have a dedicated Timeline to display the Destinations.

Create a new Timeline, name it MIXER and assign it a color

Drag & drop the three Destinations into the Timeline and position them according to their respective outputs:

Live Mixer application

Now that the Destinations are created and instantiated in a timeline, we are ready to work with Modulo Mixer.

*Info : Some options of the Mixer are available from within Kinetic Designer via the Mixer panel.
The full options of the mixer with all the proper tools to mix sources are available in the dedicated Live Mixer application with an interface readily available and optimized for control.

Open the Live Mixer and connect to the IP Address of your Kinetic Designer.

Note that if you are running the Live Mixer on the same computer as the Kinetic Designer you may also use the default loopback IP 127.0.0.1

Divide the Preview into 3 zones, one for each destination.

Drag & drop the previously created destinations in these zones.

Use the dedicated button to copy the created layout into the Program section
