Setting Driver Properties

Figure 48. Logo position and size

Because the Logo tab is used to set up a logo interactively on live video, its behavior is different from the behavior of the other tabs. The driver updates the controls on the Logo tab immediately, without waiting for you to click Apply. You see Apply enabled after you select a different pin spec. As soon as you make any change to any logo control, Apply becomes disabled and stays that way until you change to another pin spec.

If you set up a logo with video set to one size, then resize the video, the logo is not scaled correspondingly. This may not be desirable, since you may want the logo to expand to the same scale as the video window. Click 1X Scale to restore the logo to its unscaled size or import a logo prescaled to the new desired size to ensure the best image quality.
