LEAD Video Image Overlay Filter User Interface (2.0)
The Video Image Overlay Filter property page provides a user interface for changing the filter's attributes.
Changes will be applied directly to the streaming media with the ability to set them permanently by clicking Apply or OK, or to abandon changes by clicking Cancel. Positioning the mouse pointer over a control displays general information for that control. The following table shows the controls and their descriptions:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Overlay image file name browse button | If the Overlay image layer is selected, clicking the browse button opens a MS Windows Open dialog so the user can select an overlay image file. |
| BK Color button | If the Background color layer is selected, opens a Color dialog so the user can select the background color. |
| Output Size drop-down list box | Specifies the method used to control the output size: |
| • Auto: the output size is the same as the size of the input stream. | |
| • Custom: the output size is indicated by the Custom Output Width and Custom Output Height settings. | |
| The default is Auto. | |
| Custom Output Width spin box | Specifies the output width. Used only if the Output Size is set to Custom. If set to 0, then the output width is the same as the input width. In this case, the width is calculated as if the Output Size was set to Auto. |
| Custom Output Height spin box | Specifies the output height. Used only if the Output Size is set to Custom. If set to 0, then the output height is the same as the input height. In this case, the height is calculated as if the Output Size was set to Auto. |
| Layers order list | Contains the available layers. Change the layer order by clicking Send to Back or Send to Front. |
| Send to back button | Moves the selected layer to the back by one layer. |
| Send to front button | Moves the selected layer to the front by one layer. |
| Enable mask image check box | Enables or disables the mask bitmap feature for the selected layer. When the mask bitmap is used for a layer, this layer-s opacity and transparency properties will be ignored. |
| Mask image file name browse button | If a mask image is being used, opens an MS Windows Open dialog so the mask image can be selected. The mask image must be an 8-bpp gray scale Windows BMP file. |
| Region type drop-down list box | Selects a region for the selected layer. The pixels inside the region will be considered part of this layer. |
| Left spin box | Sets the coordinate of the left boundary of the region of the selected layer. |

| Enable opacity check box | Enables or disables the opacity feature of the selected layer. When the opacity feature is enabled for a layer, the transparency feature for this layer is ignored. |
| Opacity spin box | If opacity has been selected, sets the opacity, as a percentage, for the selected layer. |
| X pos spin box | Sets the X coordinate of the position of the selected layer. Values range from 0 to the output stream width. The output stream width is the maximum width of the 2 input videos. |
| Y pos spin box | Gets or sets the Y coordinate of the position of the selected layer. Values range from 0 to the output stream height. The output stream height is the maximum height of the 2 input videos. |
