Quad Grid Monitoring

The Quad Grid scene displays four sources in a 2x2 grid — a classic broadcast monitoring layout.

Creating a quad grid scene

  1. Open the Scenes panel
  2. Tap Create Scene
  3. Select Quad Grid
  4. Name the scene (e.g., “All Cameras”)
  5. Assign sources to all four layers

Default layout

Layer Position Frame
Layer 1 Top-left (0, 0, 0.495, 0.495)
Layer 2 Top-right (0.505, 0, 0.495, 0.495)
Layer 3 Bottom-left (0, 0.505, 0.495, 0.495)
Layer 4 Bottom-right (0.505, 0.505, 0.495, 0.495)

1% gaps separate the quadrants.

Common use cases

  • Multi-camera monitoring — See all four cameras at once to help you choose which to switch to
  • Sports quad-box — Show four angles of the same event simultaneously
  • Panel discussion — Display four remote participants
  • Security/surveillance style — Multi-camera monitoring view

Multiview source

For monitoring purposes, pMix also has a dedicated Multiview input source type with additional layout options beyond the quad grid:

Layout Sources
Side-by-Side 2
Picture-in-Picture 2
One Left, Two Right 3
Quad Grid 4
One Large, Three Small 4
Two Top, Three Bottom 5
One Large, Four Corners 5
2x3 Grid 6
3x3 Grid 9

The Multiview source is a monitoring tool — it renders multiple sources into a single frame that you can view in a source slot.

Tips

  • Use for monitoring, not output — The quad grid is great for the operator to see all cameras, but for output to viewers, use full-screen or PiP scenes
  • Assign your most important cameras to the quad grid for quick visual reference
  • Combine with full-screen switching — Keep the quad grid visible in your source list while switching individual cameras to program
