MPEG Features

Billboard

The Billboard feature allows you to display text and/or graphics on a TV monitor. The displayed billboard can span multiple pages with each page displayed for a specified period of time. Some uses of the billboard feature are to announce a daily calendar of events, directions to a particular conference room or even a slide presentation in conjunction with displayed video. VBrick models 62xx, 52xx and 53xx have a built in mini-browsers that support viewing limited HTML pages. The pages can either be kept inside the VBrick as part of the file system, or can be located on a remote HTTP server. Each page of the billboard is laid out as an HTML page with text and graphics created using the HTML tags supported. If billboard is to be supported on a remote server, the appliance requires read access to the HTTP server and may need to be configured. See the MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 Admin Guide for configuration details.

Picture-in-Picture

(PIP) VBrick Decoder Picture-in-picture (PIP) is a video display mode in which a small video image is superimposed on a quadrant or smaller area of a video screen. This small image or window can be opened in order to display a second video input source on a monitor. The MPEG-2 decoder provides picture-in-picture capability, which allows the input from the local encoder to be displayed on the local decoder's output. This is a useful capability when using the appliances in video-conferencing mode by allowing the near-end user to view him/ herself in a small window while simultaneously viewing the far end. Note that PIP can only be used to display local encoder input and is available for encoder/decoder models only. PIP does not operate when closed captioning is enabled.

Note If closed captioning is enabled while PIP is enabled, closed captioning will not be displayed on the monitor until PIP is disabled.

Embedded Web Browser

VBrick appliances have an embedded Web Browser that allows users to display HTML pages on the decoder's output (i.e: a monitor). This is a powerful tool that can be used for data collaboration across a network during video conferences. The web browser is a great tool for allowing data collaboration between remote sites. Benefits and features include:

•It allows for exchange of .jpg, and .gif images and .html pages.

•Images or pages can reside inside the box (in flash memory) or on an external web server.

•It can be turned On or Off through Billboard key in both the IWS and on the remote control.

•It operates with VBrick's SCAT program, allowing instant capture of Windows desktops and transferring that image to a VBrick (or to any Web server).

Example 1

An HTML page and graphic image resides in flash. This is by default and when shipped from the factory an HTML page example is loaded into flash memory. It will display several .JPG images automatically when the billboard is turned On. There are 4 HTML pages with each having a JPG image inside of it. HTML page 1 points to page 2, page 2 points to page 3, etc.
