Quad Grid Monitoring
The Quad Grid scene displays four sources in a 2x2 grid — a classic broadcast monitoring layout.
Creating a quad grid scene
- Open the Scenes panel
- Tap Create Scene
- Select Quad Grid
- Name the scene (e.g., “All Cameras”)
- 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
