In this chapter, we will relate our discussion of basic operational concepts to the SuperView’s ASCII Command Set. Commands can be issued manually, via the terminal, or from an application program, to the SuperView’s serial port.

Each input to the SuperView is displayed in its own window on the high- resolution display device. A window’s size, position, video, and image parameters are controlled using either the front panel or serial port commands that identify the desired window as being “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, or “6.”

In the factory default configuration, window 1’s top left corner is placed 50 pixels to the right of the monitor’s top left corner, and 50 lines down from the top—i.e., at the screen position (50, 50). Window 2 starts another 50 pixels over and another 50 lines down—i.e., at (100, 100). Window 3 starts at (150, 150) and window 4 at (200, 200), etc. The exact positioning of the windows may differ from that described above, depending on the resolution of the output. Also note that only RGB inputs will be visible by default; video inputs signals will not be displayed until you change the input type for a particular window.

This section discusses the interaction of zoom, pan, window size, and window position and their control via the serial port. These concepts are important if you are controlling the SuperView from the serial port. If you are using the front panel to control the SuperView, you may skip to Chapter 5, "Front Panel Control".

The SuperView maps a user-specified portion of each live input into a dedicated window on the monitor. This process involves both a source and a destination rectangle.

Image scaling and window size, positioning and clipping (at the edge of the screen) are all affected by the source and destination rectangles for each window input. Both rectangles are adjustable via the front panel or using the Command Set.

A source rectangle selects a rectangular portion of an input image, and this portion is seen in a window on the monitor. Typically, the source rectangle is defined to contain the entire image. Only the currently selected portion of each
