Visual Output Default Properties
Every output has these, whatever kind it is. Type-specific settings appear as their own section — see GPU Output, NDI Output, Recording Output, Dummy Output, Shared Memory Output and Shared Texture Output.

An offline output
When the monitor an output was saved against is not connected, the output reads Offline Output: The monitor saved for this output is not connected. Assign it to an available monitor to bring the output online.Assign to monitor picks a connected one; with none available it reads No available monitors.
An offline output keeps its settings. Warp meshes, blend masks and routing survive the monitor being unplugged, so reassigning it restores the output rather than rebuilding it.
