Multiview
The Multiview input source renders multiple video sources into a single combined frame — a monitoring tool that lets you see several cameras at once in one slot.
Adding a multiview source
- Tap + on an empty source slot
- Select Multiview
- Choose a layout
- Assign sources to each view
Available layouts
| Layout | Views | Description |

| Picture-in-Picture | 2 | One large, one small corner window |
| One Left, Two Right | 3 | One large on the left, two stacked on the right |
| Quad Grid | 4 | 2x2 grid |
| One Large, Three Small | 4 | One large on top, three smaller below |
| Two Top, Three Bottom | 5 | Two on top, three on the bottom |

Multiview vs scenes
| Multiview | Scenes | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Monitoring (operator view) | Output (audience view) |
| Renders as | A single source slot | A composited output |
| On program | Shows all sources in one frame | Composites sources with proper layout |
| Use for | Seeing all cameras at a glance | Creating PiP, side-by-side layouts for viewers |
Multiview is primarily a monitoring tool — use it to keep an eye on all your cameras. Use scenes when you want to show a multi-source layout to your audience.
Tips
- Quad grid in a spare slot — Put a quad grid multiview in one slot to monitor all four cameras while switching individual cameras to program
- Large grids — The 3x3 grid can monitor up to 9 sources but each view is small; best on larger iPads
- Performance — Multiview renders multiple sources simultaneously, which uses more GPU. Use the simplest layout that meets your monitoring needs
