LED Wall - Idiot Question for Best Arena 4 Set Up

[atomicphil]

Hi there,

I've never worked with a LED Wall before so i have whats potentially an easy query regarding set up.

I don't know anything about the wall other than its pixel spec which is 832 x 256.

So my question is, whats the best way to configure Arena 4 to get the best results? I'm assuming Advance Set up is the way to go? If so, would it be possible for someone to explain the set up process from start to finish?

Finally...my library of clips are generally 1080p...so it would be an advantage to have a config that caters for these.

Thanks a million in advance,
Phil

Make your comp 1920x1080
Open the Advanced Output

Switch to the Output Transform tab
Make your slice 832x256 and put it in the top left of your output

Switch to the Input Selection tab
Make your slice 1920x590 ( (1920/832)*256 ) and place it in the middle of your comp.

Go and have a drink.

Keep in mind that on Arena 4, slices will scale along when you change the resolution of your output. So after actually connecting to the LED wall and choosing it as an output for your screen in the Advanced Output, you may need to scale the output slice back to 832x256

And remember to turn your master opacity down to about 1/4th of what you're used to
