Note: left (X) + width <= 1920; Upper (Y) + height <= 1080, if the value set through the upper right function area exceeds this range, the setting is invalid. 

E. Drag the module position, change the module size, put the channel module into the corresponding grid.

Other description

A. The layout marked with a five-pointed star is the layout currently in use. After modifying the layout and saving it, the Mix channel will be updated accordingly.  

B. You can see that some layout names have an underscore, while others do not. This corresponds to the two cut effects of the Mix channel respectively.  Can be simply understood as ununderlined (semi-automatic layout), underlined (fully automatic layout).  A layout is composed of two parts: the video channel and the channel position. Semi-automatic layout means that when using this layout, Mix will only change the position of the layout, not the video channel currently in use. Similarly, automatic layout means that when using this layout, Mix will only change the position of the video channel currently in use.  Cut exactly according to the video channel used in the layout and the location of the channel.  

C. Layout names without underscores (semi-automatic layout) : In this layout, it is all made up of “/” modules.

D. Layout name underlined (fully automatic layout) : In this layout, there is and at least one specified video channel.
