Alpha blending for PiP is stored separately by the DX-2200 so that PiP and Full Screen Alpha Blended Overlay modes can be configured independently. The ‘An’ and ‘Annn’ commands set the PiP transparency when operating in PiP mode, and set the transparency of the non-selected input for Alpha Blended Overlay Mode when executed in any mode other than PiP.

    The DX-2200 text overlay process uses two memory buffers where text strings are converted to a rendered image that is mixed with the output video. At any one time, one buffer is being mixed with the video and the other is the spare buffer used to render the next image when the text overlay is changed (eg by the SnV, SnS, or SnH commands).

  • Page 53: Application Example 1

    4.8.1.13 Frame Counter Overlay SERIAL Commands The DX-2200 has a Frame Counter that displays the frame number as a text overlay on the video. The Frame Counter is supported for progressive video modes only and counts the output frames from the DX-2200.

  • Page 54: Frame Counter Modes 2 - 4

    The current frame count value used in Modes 2, 3 and 4 can be set by the ‘SFNnnnn’ command. The two count values are independent of each other.

If the requested zoom window is larger than the input video size, the window will be reduced to the video size. If the position places the window outside the input video, then the position is automatically adjusted to make the window fit.
  • Page 63 Increasing the zoom setting beyond these limits does not increase the magnification. Note: Only certain discrete zoom values are acheivable and the step size between achievable values increases as the zoom increases. The DX-2200 will automatically select the closest acheivable zoom based on the parameter. For example at low zoom a change from 100.0% to 100.1% may produce a change in the display, but at high zoom...

  • Page 64: User Interface Commands

    The DX-2200 has 4 DIP switches than can be assigned and a toggle switch that can toggle left and toggle right. Different commands are used to assign the DIP and toggle switches.

  • Page 65: Resetting Dx-2200 Switches To Factory Default Configuration

    The UF commands are used to assign commands to the user interface functions. For example, the command UF07,00:”M2” assigned user interface function 07, selection number 00 to have the command M2 (set the mode of the DX-2200 to PiP). Any previous command assignment for this user interface function and selection is erased by this command.
  • Page 66 DIP switch settings are applied only when the DIP switches are changed. This mode may be useful when the DX-2200 is operating primarily under SERIAL control, but the DIP switches are also being used. DIP switch settings are applied when the DIP switches are changed, at startup, and also whenever the mode is changed.
