Video Input Source [1..2] Quality

When encoding and transmitting video there will be a tradeoff between high resolution and high framerate. For some video sources it is more important to transmit high framerate than high resolution and vice versa. The Quality setting specifies whether to give priority to high frame rate or to high resolution for a given source.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Motion/Sharpness>

Motion: Gives the highest possible framerate. Used when there is a need for higher frame rates, typically when a large number of participants are present or when there is a lot of motion in the picture.

Sharpness: Gives the highest possible resolution. Used when you want the highest quality of detailed images and graphics.

Example: Video Input Source 1 Quality: Motion

Video DefaultPresentationSource

Define which video input source shall be used as the default presentation source (when you tap Presentation followed by Present on the touch controller). The input source is configured to a video input connector.

Requires user role: USER

Value space: <1..2>

Range: Select the video source to be used as the presentation source.

Example: Video DefaultPresentationSource: 2

Video Input DVI [1] Type

The official DVI standard supports both digital and analog signals. In most cases the default AutoDetect setting can detect whether the signal is analog RGB or digital. However, in some rare cases when DVI-I cables are used (these cables can carry both the analog and digital signals) the auto detection fails. This setting makes it possible to override the AutoDetect and select the correct DVI video input.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <AutoDetect/Digital/AnalogRGB/AnalogYPbPr>

AutoDetect: Set to AutoDetect to automatically detect if the signal is analog RGB or digital.

Digital: Set to Digital to force the DVI video input to Digital when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.

AnalogRGB: Set to AnalogRGB to force the DVI video input to AnalogRGB when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.

AnalogYPbPr: Set to AnalogYPbPr to force the DVI video input to AnalogYPbPr, as the component (YPbPr) signal cannot be auto detected.

Example: Video Input DVI 1 Type: AutoDetect

Video ControlPanel Brightness

Set the brightness level for the touch screen.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <S: 0, 100>

Range: Select a value from 0 to 100.

Example: Video ControlPanel Brightness: 100

Video Layout Scaling

Define how the system shall adjust the aspect ratio for images or frames when there is a difference between the image and the frame it is to be placed in.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <On/Off>

On: Let the system automatically adjust aspect ratio.

Off: No adjustment of the aspect ratio.

Example: Video Layout Scaling: On

Video Layout ScaleToFrame

Define what to do if the aspect ratio of a video input source doesn't match the aspect ratio of the corresponding image frame in a composition. For example if you have a 4:3 input source (like XGA) to be displayed on a 16:9 output (like HD720).

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <Manual/MaintainAspectRatio/StretchToFit>

Manual: If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the ScaleToFrameThreshold configuration (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio. MaintainAspectRatio: Will maintain the aspect ratio of the input source, and fill in black in the rest of the frame (letter boxing or pillar boxing).

StretchToFit: Will stretch (horizontally or vertically) the input source to fit into the image frame.

NOTE: The general limitation is that you cannot upscale in one direction and at the same time downscale in the other direction. In such situations the codec will apply letterboxing.

Example: Video Layout ScaleToFrame: MaintainAspectRatio

Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold

Only applicable if the ScaleToFrame configuration is set to manual. If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the ScaleToFrameThreshold configuration (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.

Requires user role: ADMIN

Value space: <0..100>

Range: Select a value from 0 to 100 percent.

Example: Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold: 5
