Create multi-output
create_multi_outputFan a master TOP across multiple projectors by creating cropped slices per display, with optional edge-blending overlap for blended tiling.
Instructions
Fan a master TOP across N projectors/displays: each output is a cropped slice (horizontal or vertical) resized to full projector resolution and ended on a Null, ready for setup_output. Set overlap for edge-blending — tiles widen into their neighbours and a GLSL feather fades the shared seams so physically-overlapping projectors blend smoothly. Creates a new baseCOMP under parent_path holding the Select TOP, per-tile Crop (+ optional GLSL feather) and Null outputs, and optional Window COMPs. With as_windows, each tile also gets a borderless Window COMP offset across the desktop so it lands on its own display (left closed — open in Perform mode). Use setup_output instead for a single-window output; create_dome_output/create_cubemap_dome for curved/fulldome instead of flat tiling. Returns a summary plus a JSON block with the container path, created node paths, the first output path, the full list of output and window paths, and any node errors/warnings, with an inline preview image of the first tile.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| source_path | Yes | The master TOP to fan out across the projectors/displays. | |
| count | No | How many outputs to split the master into (one per projector/display). | |
| layout | No | Slice the master side-by-side (horizontal) or stacked (vertical). | horizontal |
| overlap | No | Edge-blend: overlap each tile into its neighbor by this fraction of a tile's width, with a linear feather at the shared seams so physically-overlapping projectors blend smoothly (0 = abutting tiles, no blend). Try 0.1–0.3. | |
| resolution | No | Per-output (per-projector) resolution. | 1080p |
| as_windows | No | Also create a borderless Window COMP per tile, offset across the desktop so each lands on its own display. Left closed — open them in Perform mode when ready. | |
| parent_path | No | Parent network where the multi-output container is created (default '/project1'). | /project1 |
