The window or display where the picture leaves the patch.
Inlets
Video
1
The video twin of SoundOut. Cord a Lumen composite, a VideoMix, a VideoFX or a bare VideoPlayer into its inlet and open its window with the screen button beside the Screen menu, from the Video Outputs submenu, or by right-clicking the organism. As a window it floats above the patcher while you work; sent to a display it goes borderless and fullscreen there. Several VideoOut organisms are several outputs, so the show can go to a projector while a preview mix stays on your own screen.
Parameters
Screen
Where the picture goes. Window floats a resizable window you can move; Display 1, Display 2 or Display 3 takes over that attached display fullscreen, which is the projector setting.
Fade
The master fader for the whole output. 0 is black; ride it from automation or a controller to fade the show out.
Preview
Keeps the small preview in the organism's editor live while the output window is closed. Turn it off to spare the graphics work when you do not need it.
An output set to a display opens itself again when the patch is loaded, on that display, filling it. One left on Window does not: there is nothing in the patch that says whether its window was open, only where it would go.
OnTop
Keeps the output window above the other windows, so clicking back into the patch does not bury the picture. On by default; an output filling a display stays on top whatever this says.
Recipe
Projector plus preview
Cord the Lumen outlet into two VideoOut organisms. Set one to Display 2 for the projector and leave the other on Window on your own screen with Preview on. Map Fade on the projector output to a fader so you can take the room to black without touching the mix.
