    DX-2200 – Dual-view 2x1 SDI Video Switcher SERIAL C VERLAY ONTROL OMMANDS The Overlay Control SERIAL Commands act as a master control to enable or disable the display of all Graphic Fields and the frame counter. The visibility settings of the individual fields and the frame counter are not changed by these commands.
  • Page 58 DX-2200 – Dual-view 2x1 SDI Video Switcher ISIBILITY OF AYERS The Graphic Overlay can be enabled and disabled at the mixer. This provides a high speed method of turning the overlay on and off because the individual fields don’t need to be rendered. The LnD command disables the visibility of a layer, and the LnE command enables visibility.

  • Page 59: Table 17: Layer Control Serial Command Codes

    DX-2200 – Dual-view 2x1 SDI Video Switcher By default, the overlay position coordinates refer to where the top-left corner of the overlay is located in the output video. The reference point can be changed to the center of the overlay instead of the top left corner using the LnPM2 command. Moving the overlay is very fast because it does not require rendering any Fields or switching the overlay buffers.
