Mainly used to split content with high resolution into smaller parts to use for LED displays together with some kind of LED controller software that will pick parts of the screen and send it the LED segments.

This feature requires version 38.6 or later of the Premium or Professional player.

  ]
}

copy - Array of source and target rectangles

copy.name - Name of the rectangle. Optional.

copy.source - Coordinates (left, top, right, bottom) for the area to copy from the space defined by source resolution.

copy.target - Coordinates (left, top, right, bottom) for the area to paste into the space defined by target resolution. If this is not the same size as the source the image will be streched without aspect ratio.

Notes

• Source rectangles can overlap and can be copied in any order.
• Target rectangles can overlap. The last one in the list will be drawn last and on-top of the earlier ones.
• Enabling this feature will use more resources during rendering, so it is recommended that the Player PC has an reasonably good graphic card and can playback the content in full frame rate.
• All objects are supported but some features like full screen transitions, shader effects, 3d, etc. may not behave correctly when using this feature.
