this image fades out to the background in the number of seconds you specify (default is 1.5 seconds).
Mode
You can set the display mode to one of these options:
Fit to Zone – Stretches the image to fill the zone. This will distort the image if the zone does not have the
same aspect ratio as the image.
Letterbox – Shows the entire image and preserves its aspect ratio. The iCOMPEL displays the letterbox
color in any space in the zone not covered by the image.
Crop – Preserves the image aspect ratio but cuts off its edges if it is larger than the zone.
Letterbox Color
If you select Letterbox as the display mode, some space may be left in the zone outside of the image. Use
this option to select the color the iCOMPEL displays in that space.
Opacity
To allow background items to be visible, enter a percentage to match the opacity required. 100% is completely
opaque and 1% is almost completely transparent.
