4.6.3 The Xvideo client

For displaying videos and RGB signals on the display wall an X client is available. The client is called xvideo and
handles all inputs from Q
The video client xvideo can be started as follows:
# xvideo [-<option>]
After xvideo is started two windows show up: the control panel and the canvas panel. The control panel of-
fers controls for customizing the display, whereas the canvas panel displays the video or RGB data. The video
client detects automatically what kind of signal is connected to channel 1.
The video client offers up to four tabs for Q
D RGB I C depending on the actual hardware configuration of your T
UAL NPUT ARD
The options for starting the video client xvideo are listed in section
described below: Module Video and Module RGB.
Module video and module RGB
All input cards allow to start the video client xvideo with an option for displaying the input signal without bor-
ders and fitted to complete projection modules (1 to n×n, depending on configuration).
The command
# xvideo –mv 1 –mg 1x1+1+0
lets the video client start as Module Video (-mv 1) on the second projection module from the left in the upper
row (-mg 1x1+1+0).
The displayed video or RGB signal is always »on top«, other applications are »beyond« and can not be manipu-
lated by accident.
