Note
titleIMPORTANT Note

Layout is saved as part of the User’s settings and it is no more saved as part of the Room’s setup. This means that, while there is no option to have someone set up a custom layout for a given roomto be shared with everyone, each user will see their own custom setup and they will not overwrite each other.

Saving, loading and deleting layouts can be performed by clicking on the cogwheel icon of the Layout settings panel and by that opening the Layout settings pop-up window.

 

Media section 

Camera feeds and simulator-related media (CTG, waveform and trend chart/patient monitor ) added to a room are available in the Media section. Media can be moved to and removed from the video layout - pinned or unpinned - by using the drag-and-drop or the pin-to-layout functionalities. This way, only the selected media sources will be presented to the viewers. 

Drag-and-drop functionality

Media sources (camera feeds, physio apps) can be moved into the layout or into the Media section as desired, using the new drag-and-drop functionality of the SRV. 

Pin-to-Layout

Media sources can be "pinned" (moved)to the layout also by clicking on the icon in the respective feed.



Media can be "unpinned" - removed from the video layout and moved to the Media section - by clicking the  in the right upper corner of the camera/media pane

Picture-in-Picture

One desired camera feed or media source can be displayed in a focused way, while the rest of the media sources (a maximum of four) can be displayed in the corners of the video layout.
Media sources (camera feeds, physio apps) can be moved into the layout or into the Media section as desired, using drag-and-drop or pin-to-layout.
