Set Up a Multiview

Goal: show several video feeds at once in a grid on one display — a camera wall, multi-game sports viewing, or a monitoring station.

A multiview is a special video source: instead of one feed filling the screen, multiple sources share it in a grid. Selecting it in an AV zone sets up the whole grid automatically.

Before you start​

  • You're logged in as an administrator.
  • The video sources you want to tile (cameras, tuners, players) exist as AV sources (see Set Up an AV Zone).
  • A video AV zone with a display capable of showing the grid.

Steps​

  1. Open Multiview.

  2. Choose a layout — 2x2, 3x2, 4x4, or a custom grid. The layout sets how many positions you have.

  3. Assign a source to each position by dragging sources onto the grid.

  4. Set audio and routing:

    • Choose which position's audio plays while you view all feeds (the first source is the default audio source).
    • Configure the video command that tells the hardware to build the grid layout.
    • Toggle fullscreen per position if you want individual feeds to be expandable.

How it behaves​

When a user selects the multiview source in an AV zone, GEM auto-initializes it:

  1. The first source in the grid becomes the active audio source.
  2. The configured multiview video command runs to lay out the grid.
  3. The first source's audio command runs.

So users get a fully configured grid the instant they select it — no manual per-tile setup.

Verify it​

Select the multiview source in its AV zone and confirm all positions populate, the grid layout is correct, and audio comes from the intended feed.
