Glynor's mention of video wall in another thread reminded me that I've wanted to request/discuss Video Tiling or Video Wall mode again. It would be a nice feature for a new release of JRiver.
Many use Picture in Picture mode with DirectTV or other tuners for watching multiple sporting events at once. With JRiver you can detach multiple displays and arrange them any way you want on your viewing area. This is rather cumbersome IMO. What I would like is a more automated way of performing video tiling. I think zones would work but there may be other ideas.
Here is my idea. Each zone controls a detached display. The Video Wall setup window would let you select zones for playback, tiling options (Side by side, over/under, or 2 x 2 for example). Launch TV shows in each zone, click Video Wall and you get all shows properly tiled. The volume would come from the active zone and you could instantly full screen any zone.
Something like this would also enable JRiver to be used at kiosks, restaurants, churches, businesses and other venues that need video tiling.
