Setup

Is used as the resolution for the screen if the iCOMPEL cannot learn the screen’s resolution automatically.

Best practice for a layout designer is to:

Decide on the desired output resolution they wish their content to be played at, typically 1360 x 768 or 1920 x 1080.

Set the Layout Canvas Size to match that desired output.

Choose or design layouts to fit the Layout Canvas Size.

If in a channel then all screens should be set to the same Layout Canvas Size.

The iCOMPEL will attempt to configure its screen by Plug and Play, using timings obtained from the screen's EDID

information; if the screen's provided timings do not include a mode of the same size as the layout canvas size, the

iCOMPEL will scale the layout to fit the screen's best available resolution. You can see the chosen resolution on the Status

tab.

Layout Canvas is automatically scaled to fill the screen that is plugged into the player

If the iCOMPEL is unable to obtain timings from the screen's EDID information, the iCOMPEL will output a mode at the

same resolution as the layout canvas size, using the fallback timings. This can occur because, for example, your screen is

connected via a VGA extender or distribution amplifier that does not support EDID or DDC.

Note: Only plug one screen into the iCOMPEL at a time.
