Source: https://docs.tune.toys/nodes/video.multiview/

Multiview tiles a bundle of streams into one picture, with labels, for monitoring.

## What it does

The input carries 1 to 8 streams, joined with [Combine streams](https://docs.tune.toys/nodes/video.combine/). Columns sets the grid, Gap the space between tiles and Labels adds the stream numbers.

## When to use it

Use it to watch several sources at once, for example before a [Switcher](https://docs.tune.toys/nodes/video.switch/).

| `gap`     | Gap     | 0 to 64 | 4       | px   | linear | Space between tiles in pixels.                                |
| `labels`  | Labels  | 0 to 1  | 1       |      | linear | Show stream numbers on the tiles. Choices: 0 Hidden, 1 Shown. |

### Columns (`columns`)

Number of columns in the grid, 1 to 4.

### Gap (`gap`)

Space between tiles in pixels.

### Labels (`labels`)

Shows a label on each tile when on.

## Tips

- The output is one stream and can be filtered or recorded like any other.
- Video needs the browser's WebGPU video engine. The Player and exports do not run video yet and report it unavailable. To see a video output, bind a live Screen in the Frame to it.
