Audio Outputs

The Audio tab is where you tell Visibox which device to play out of, how many channels to use, and which input feeds audio-reactive Visualizers and Effects.

Opening a Visibox Project gives you two windows: the Controller window and the Output window. Here is what is in each.

The Output tab shapes the picture: how big it is, what shape it is, which way up it is, and how many Clips can be on it at once. It applies to Visibox as a whole, not to one Project, so a setting made here survives switching Projects.

Visibox paints one picture and then hands out pieces of it. That picture is the output canvas. A projector, a second projector, an NDI stream, a DeckLink card and a screen recorder can each take the whole canvas or a rectangle of it, at the same time.

An Overlay is an image that sits above everything the Output shows. A band logo in a corner all night, a lower third naming the act, a sponsor mark for one Song. Clips, Visualizers, cameras and the background all play underneath it.

Normally Visibox plays one Clip at a time: start a Clip and whatever was playing stops. Polyoptic playback lifts that limit. Set a Song's Poly Mode and several of its Clips can hold the stage together, the way several notes held down on a keyboard sound together.

The Settings window holds everything you configure once and then forget about: audio hardware, cameras, MIDI, the shape of the Output, which screen shows what, and how Visibox behaves at launch.
