handles all inputs from Q

# 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 options for starting the video client xvideo are listed in section
described below: Module Video and Module RGB. Module Video and Module RGB.
Module video and module RGB B
All input cards allow both to start the video client xvideo with an option for displaying the input signal without
borders 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. Simultaneously applications with 8 8 bit PseudoColor as well as video and RGB signals with
16 bit DirectColor can be displayed. Please, refer to section
