Preview All Camera Inputs Simultaneously

[Phil Kong]

Is there a way to preview all my camera inputs at the same time in QLab? I haven't yet figured out a way...

 Do you mean play them in the audition window, or arrange them all on a preview display?

I think both would be good options. I just want to be able to see all camera feeds at the same time in a grid.

I suppose I could make a custom surface and push that to a monitor that would act as a preview display. I was just wondering if there was something already built in for that.

Yes, rolling your own is the only solution to this. Custom Surface on a dedicated monitor  for program is probably the sensible option, but if you did want them in the audition window. you could make a small surface for each preview camera cue which would appear individually in the audition window

Depending on your needs, you might want to look at a separate multi view appliance. BMD makes a nice one:

The benefit here is that you aren't burdening your graphics card with building the multi-view for you.
