Media and Live Video

Create a media object by clicking the   icon on the overlay toolbar.

 

The media object indicates where you would like Playlists or Live Video to display.

Please note: Playlists need to be scheduled in the Schedule Editor component before they will display in the Media object. To see how to do this click here.

When the object is selected its property grid is revealed on the left:

 

 

1.  Name – please enter a name for your object. This will identify this object on the layer list and will be easier to manage objects especially in a layout with many objects.

2.  Height % – value entered for Height is proportional to the percentage of the work area.

3.  Left % – value entered positions the picture’s left edge equivalent to percentage value of the full width of the work area.

4.  Top % – value entered positions the picture’s top edge equivalent to percentage value of the full height of the work area.

5.  Width % – value entered for Width is proportional to a percentage of the work area.

 

Right clicking on the picture icon brings up the following menu options:

 

 

1.  ‘Remove’ deletes the media object.

2.  ‘Adjust Aspect Ratio’ will bring up the following dialogue:

Entering values in the ‘Width’ and ‘Height’ fields will accurately conform the dimensions of the media object to the ratio of the values you enter.

3.  ‘Bring to Front’ brings the object to the top layer in the work area.

4.  ‘Send to Back’ pushes the object to the bottom layer of the object stack. The object will occupy the layer just above the background.
