Multi-Window and Multi-Screen
Njord Player supports any number of open windows simultaneously, all synchronised to the same playback time. Seeking or playing in any window updates all others instantly.
Opening a new window
Desktop app:
- Click the new window icon in the toolbar of any media or chart view
- From the menu bar: Window → New Window
Web Player:
- Click the new window icon in the toolbar of any media or chart view
- New Window button in the top toolbar
Note: multi-window media playback in Web Player works best in Chrome, Edge, or Safari. Firefox does not support media in secondary windows.
Each new window can show a different view type and can be moved to any connected screen.
Window types
- Media view — video playback with configurable data overlays
- Map view — race track with tactical colouring and measurement tools
- Line chart view — rolling strip chart of selected metrics, playing in real time alongside video
Typical setups
| Screens | Common layout |
|---|---|
| Laptop only | Main video + map or line chart side by side |
| Laptop + 1 external | Main video on external, map or line chart on laptop |
| Laptop + 2 external | Main video, secondary camera or map, line chart |
Some teams run 10 or more windows across multiple screens for full fleet and multi-camera presentations.
Tips
- The line chart window is useful alongside video to show metric trends as the race plays back.
