Select the Screen Layout and Properties
This will take you to the Screens tab. If your player has two outputs, two screen layouts will be displayed. If it has four outputs, four screen layouts will be displayed (see Image 2).
Select the layout and resolution by changing the number of layouts in the Screen Count dropdown menu and picking a Screen Resolution. If you chose one output, you can select 8K resolution output, but if you have more than one screen, the output is limited to 4K for each screen. Layout Resolution in the right panel will show you the total resolution.
Select a Target Frame Rate or use the default.
Check Force Resolution or Enable YCbCr 10-bit Output for those options:
Force Resolution forces the player to output the selected resolution even if the display reports over HDMI® that it does not support it. If this box is unchecked, the player will attempt to use the selected Screen Resolution, but will then fall back to the highest resolution supported by the display if it is unsupported.
Enable YCbCr 10-bit Output outputs a 10-bit color video signal to the connected display. See the video encoding FAQ for more details on supported 4K color spaces and bit depths.
Under Screen Properties:
Enter a Name for your screen
Select a Video Output (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, HDMI-3, HDMI-4).
Enter Bezel Compensation values, including bezel Top, Bottom, Left, and Right, to adjust the display for the space between the screens. Set this for each screen or select Apply to All Screens to apply the settings for one screen to all the screens. Bezels that are selected will be highlighted.

Lay Out the Content
Switch to the Layout tab to see the content layout.
Resize the zone by clicking and dragging on the blue tabs in the corner and middle of the zone and/or move it around the layout to place it as you want. You can do this without affecting the screen layout.
Toggle Layout Boundaries lets you see the screen and bezel boundaries are. This feature makes it easy to resize a zone to match the edge of the screen or the edge of the bezel.
Enable snap to canvas lets you snap to elements quickly and ensure that your zone fills the entire screen.
To add more zones, use Add Zone. In the Zone panel, you can change the priority to put the zone on top of or under other zones.
Under Type, you can change the zone type to Audio, Image, Ticker, or Control.

Touchscreens
As of BOS 9.0.22.3, the default configuration for a single and multiple touchscreens is implemented for all players. Touch works on a single portrait touchscreen and for a single touchscreen with other screens attached.
Note that touch only works on the HDMI-1 output on the XC5 (the system maps the touch area to the portion of the screen associated with HDMI-1).
