Channel layout examples

Here are some examples of different layouts you can create using the custom layout editor with just two video input sources and two media image files.

In the Epiphan products column, "All" means the layout can be created with Pearl-2, Pearl Mini, Pearl Nano, and Epiphan Unify. Pearl Nano does not support multiple channel layouts.

To get this look: Upload your background and logo images (you can do this from the Media page or the Layouts page for the channel). Using the custom layout editor, add the background image to the layout and stretch it to fill the entire layout area. Then add your two video sources to the layout, adjusting their size and position as needed. Lastly, add the logo to the layout and move it in to position. For the second video source, use the Crop tool to crop the second source to a square aspect ratio.
