Mirror mode - Mirroring on multiple output devices

Mirror mode refers to the ability to display the same video content simultaneously on multiple output devices, such as monitors or video walls.

In the context of video processing, mirror mode is used to duplicate one and the same video signal on several displays. This technology helps to meet the need for simultaneous display of image content on multiple screens, which can be a critical function in many professional application scenarios, such as air traffic control or for broadcast, media and ITC.

Mirror mode in image processing is usually made possible by special hardware components such as the PersonalWorkplace Controller Video, which are able to mirror the video data to another output device at the same time. With the PersonalWorkplace Controller, it is even possible to scale the source signal to a different resolution.

An example of the use of such mirror technology can be found in broadcasting technology. When a television station produces a live programme, for example, directors, camera operators and other team members must always see the same video content in order to be able to work in a coordinated manner. Mirror mode allows everyone to see the same video content on their monitors at the same time, enabling efficient production.

FAQ:

How does Mirror Mode differ from other video output modes?

Unlike other modes such as Extended Mode, which shows different content on different displays, Mirror Mode shows the same content on all screens. It is ideal for situations where multiple users need to see the same content at the same time.

How many displays can be used in Mirror Mode?

The number of displays that can be used in Mirror Mode depends on the specific hardware or software that the system uses. Some systems only support two displays, while others can support multiple displays. It is always advisable to check the technical specifications of the system used to determine the maximum number of displays supported.
