Rules for Backgrounds, Video Windows, Objects
and Subpages
The following are the rules for layering backgrounds, video windows and objects in
a C2N-DVP4DI VT Pro-e project.
Backgrounds – A background on a page is always the back layer. It cannot be
moved in front of video windows or objects.
Video Windows – Video windows are always on top of backgrounds. They cannot
be moved in front of objects.
Objects (buttons, etc.) – Objects are always on top of video windows and
backgrounds. They cannot be moved behind video windows and backgrounds.
Subpages – A subpage background is always in the back layer. It does not move in
front of the video window on the main page, but is in front of the main page's
background when it appears. Objects are always on top. The subpages are displayed
in the order in which the digital feedback occurs. This permits you to place any
subpage on top of any other subpage.
NOTE: If the C2N-DVP4DI is a slave and power is lost for some reason, when you
return to the page, the order of the subpages will be lowest join number to highest
join number (the highest join number on top). The subpage order does not follow the
order in VT Pro-e.
Example VT Pro-e Project
The following procedure is designed to demonstrate C2N-DVP4DI video effect
capabilities. Once the compiled program is loaded in the C2N-DVP4DI, the main
video screen opens with a pan effect; the subsequent screen contains four video
windows, each window displaying a different effect. For effect descriptions, refer to
"Selecting a Video Source Effect and Duration" on page 40.
Prerequisites
For this example, we explicitly need video sources 1A and 2A. We also need RGB
sources on DVI/RGB1 and DVI/RGB3.
•
Display device connected to the output DVI/RGB port. If display connector
is RGB, use the supplied DVI/RGB adapter.
•
Video inputs connected to the input DVI/RGB, S-video, component or
Composite sources. If video source connector is RGB, use the supplied
DVI/RGB adapter.
•
Cresnet power (from Cresnet power supply) connected to the Cresnet port.
•
Serial mouse connected to the touchscreen/mouse port, if applicable.
•
PC connected (using computer com port) to the C2N-DVP4DI (VT Pro-e
and Viewport open).
•
C2N-DVP4DI in master mode, video input/output setup complete (refer to
"Configuring the C2N-DVP4DI" in the latest version of the C2N-DVP4DI
Operations Guide (Doc. 6112).
Procedure
NOTE: This procedure uses four different video sources (DVI/RGB 1, DVI/RGB 3,
Video Input 1A composite and Video 2A Input composite).
