Outputs, display mode and zoom
Short answer: Open Application Settings → Outputs to add outputs (up to five) and center the Output window. Under Display, choose Constraint, Stretch to Fit or Scale to Fit, and use Zoom Options to zoom toward the center, top, left, right or bottom. Scenery is 16:9, so screens with very different shapes will distort or crop.
Outputs
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Output 1 | Always on; can't be disabled |
| Center Window | Centers the Output window on its screen |
| Prepare | Adds another output (up to five) |
| Virtual Output | Combines several outputs into one picture across projectors. Still in development in 2.x; test with the Demo Show before relying on it. |
Assign cues to outputs in Show Settings → Configure Displays. Cues can go to all outputs or selected ones.
Display mode
| Mode | Result |
|---|---|
| Constraint | Keeps the 16:9 shape |
| Stretch to Fit | Fills the screen; may distort |
| Scale to Fit | Scales to fit; may crop or leave bars |
Zoom
Pick a pin-point (Center, Top, Left, Right, Bottom), then slide left to zoom out or right to zoom in. Zooming often affects transitions; check them afterward.
Line up the projector
Tools → Test Patterns shows a grid, colors or grayscale on the output while you adjust the projector's focus, keystone and position. The pattern stays only while you're on that page.
