Selecting and customizing window layout

Use the lobby to automate window layout for simple meetings.

When you use the lobby, presenters appear on the display when they are connected, and appear in alphabetical order by input ID. For example, if presenters connect to inputs B, C, D, and F, those four windows appear on your display. When a fifth presenter connects to input A, five windows appear on your display.

If there are no presenters connected to your CORIOview, your CORIOview enters the lobby automatically, even if you were using a preset window layout before.

In the lobby:

• The PRESET button is unlit.
• A button from 1-8 is lit to tell you how many presenters are connected. If no presenters are connected, no buttons are lit.
• Buttons from A-H are lit dimly to tell you which presenters are connected.

• Your display shows all connected presenters.

CORIOview™ also has a range of built-in preset window layouts. Use preset window layouts for more control over your display, and for applications like security monitoring.

By default, presets show windows in alphabetical order by input ID, starting with A. For example, preset 4 shows windows A, B, C, and D. Even if a presenter is not connected to one or more of those inputs, the windows appear on your display. In the following example, there is no presenter connected to input C.

You can customize presets to show your choice of windows. For example, you could choose to show windows B, D, F, and G. You can also choose the position of each window.

The number of presets available depends on the number of inputs you have.

You can select and customize presets using the buttons of the front panel, and in CORIOgrapher.

You can choose a presenter to be the active presenter. Active presenters appear in larger windows and can share audio. You can show the active presenter above thumbnail windows of the other presenters, or show the active presenter full screen.

All other connected presenters appear as thumbnails, even if you were using a preset window layout before choosing an active presenter.
