Please contact your admin for more details.

   • Enter the Report URL. It is the URL of the report published in the public workspace.

   • Select the Framerate.

   Advanced Tab

   • Provide the Resolution. It is the resolution of the destination at which the source will be streamed.

   • Choose the scaling option. Scale to Fit The source is scaled so that the border of the image and the entire image are visible inside the display. This most often results in black bands above and below the image. Stretch Full Screen The source is scaled so that the entire image is visible on the display. This means the video's aspect ratio is stretched horizontally and vertically to match the display's aspect ratio. Zoom Full Screen The source is scaled so that some image is outside the display (cropped). This eliminates the black banding on the display, but it means that either the horizontal or vertical outside edges of the video will not be visible to the user.

   • Enable the Sharable option. When the source is used for streaming content, and the Sharable option is enabled, the server generates one source instance and shares it across applications. For example, if you create 2 sources with the same parameters and map the sources to the canvas or mapping group, the server only creates 1 running instance of the sources. This helps in resource utilization.

   • Select or Create a Tag for easy access to the Source. To create a Tag, click on the Tag drop-down menu. A cursor appears. Enter the name of the Tag and press the Enter key. The Tag gets created. Tags help sort the source when there are multiple sources.
