Layout tab

The Layout tab is located on the right side of the Single Room View and contains the Layout settings and the Media section panels.

Layout settings


Here, users can choose from the following views to get the most convenient and suitable layout for their aims:


  1. Double view:  2x1 feeds displayed

  2. Quad view:     2x2 feeds displayed

  3. Pinned view:  1+5 feeds displayed; one feed is highlighted

  4. 3x3 view:       A maximum of nine feeds displayed

  5. Single view:   One selected feed is displayed. Picture-in-Picture view can be enabled by the toggle:




Vertical Double Layout

In some cases, two camera views must be displayed on top of each other (i.e., in a single column) during recording.
In the latest versions of LearningSpace, the utilization of the space available in the Single Room View panels can be maximized, and the panels on the right side (Annotations tab, Data Entry tab, etc.) or additional windows can be displayed in a larger size with the help of the Vertical double layout feature:




The recommended video size (aspect ratio) is 16:9 (e.g. 1280x720).
The sizing of camera streams might not be optimal with a 4:3 video size (an additional black bar/stripe might be visible at the upper and lower edges of the screen).


IMPORTANT

While the Layout tab is active, the on-screen Camera controls (e.g., PTZ) are disabled.

Before saving personalized layouts for new rooms, all media sources are displayed in the optimal layout by default.

IMPORTANT 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 room to 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 in the Layout settings panel and opening the Layout settings pop-up window.

 

Media Section

Camera feeds and simulator-related media (CTG, waveform, and trend chart/patient monitor ) are added to a room in the Media section. Media can be moved to and removed from the video layout - pinned or unpinned - using the drag-and-drop or 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 SRV's new drag-and-drop functionality. 


Pin-to-Layout

Media sources can also be "pinned" (moved) to the layout by clicking on the arrow 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 upper right corner of the camera/media pane


Picture-in-Picture

One desired camera feed or media source can be displayed focused. In contrast, 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 the Media section as desired, using drag-and-drop or pin-to-layout.



The Picture in Picture toggle is only available in the single Layout view.
