  • 1.  2 different resolutions within a single XPression prioject?

    Posted 03-16-2019 22:57
    I have a client in need of a very simply XPression package (3 total elements). 2 of these are at 1920x1080. No big deal, but one is intended to fill vertical side monitors and they are asking for that one to be 1152x1920, which is an odd aspect ratio as well.

    Now, ordinarily I would build the vertical one on its side, and let whatever switcher they are using rotate it, but that 1152 is throwing me.

    What's the best way to handle that (presuming the client is not in possession of a Tessera)

    Guys, I am in desperation mode here... this can't be the first time a need like this has been needed to be fulfilled. I have since received confirmation from the client that they are not rotating outputs in their switcher, so these vertical elements need to be native 1152x1920. Right now, I can only think to make a wholly separate project for the verticals, but that sounds like a logistical nightmare TBH...

    Any help or advice here would be helpful.

    Yes you can have different resolutions in the same project.

    Right click in scene manager and select create custom scene size.
    Presumably you are making these templates for an XPression Tessera solution?

    I see you mention they don't have Tessera. So nvm on that one!
    I wonder what your client plans on doing, but the earlier answer is still correct. You can have multiple scene resolutions in the same project.

    Thanks Garner... TBH, I don't know if they have Tessera or not - They very well may (It's for the Luxor E-Sports Arena in Vegas), I'm getting my producer to reach out and confirm. If they do are there other steps I need to take?

    Yes, they have an XPression Tessera & Carbonite mosaic system. They don't do any template rotation as far as I know, they use the Carbonite Mosaic to scale the XPression outputs a bit.

    Thanks Garner, that helps. So then it should be as simple as building the scene they need in that vertical resolution?
