VNS 104 Display Format and Scaling Modes

The VNS 104 has no capability to modify or change the streams, stream format, screen layout, stream content, or window selection. All stream formatting and window layout selection is done from the VN‑Matrix Enterprise Controller. Individual stream selection and configuration is also set by the controller. The VNS 104 can be configured by the controller to run in either quad (4) or single (1) stream display layout.

When a stream is assigned by the Enterprise Controller, the decoded image is displayed in the decoder window in the format assigned by the controller. When a stream is assigned but not available, a black screen is displayed. If a splash screen is enabled, it is displayed instead.
