Graphics and Layers
VIDEO STANDARD
You can create Deko500 graphics in standard 4 x 3 aspect ratio or in the wider
16 x 9 aspect ratio used for some feature films, music videos and commercials.
The default video standard is standard NTSC.
To change the aspect ratio:
From the Options menu, select Hardware Settings, then choose
4 x 3 or 16x9.
To change the current video standard:
1. Right-click the Windows desktop, choose Properties from the
drop-down menu, then click the Pinnacle tab.
2. Click the Setup button, then choose PAL or NTSC.
3. Close all dialog boxes and windows and re-start Windows NT.
Notes
When you change the video standard, Deko500 automatically
changes related input/output settings (number of scan lines,
pedestal, blanking width, etc.).
If this is the first time you are switching to a new standard,
you must recalibrate all levels and delays—Deko500
maintains a separate set of values for each standard.
ABOUT LAYERS AND BACKGROUNDS
Each graphic consists of a background and one or more layers.
The layers:
A layer is one element of a Deko500 graphic. A graphic can have an unlimited
number of layers. Each layer is one of two types:
a text layer—also called a text field
a geometric shape layer—a rectangle or an ellipse
