Click on Blanking (or Idc1, Idc2, Idc3, Idc4) to define the information to be depicted in the hide mode (infor-
mation to be depicted as IDC1, IDC2, IDC3, IDC4).
Then select the IdcEnable option to overlay the selected information over the actual viewer window content
according to settings.
Information can consist of any text, system parameters such as date and time (cf. Placeholders for In Display Caption
Texts), and an image (logo). The available images are defined in the ServerData\Globals.ini file and identical for
all viewers. Colors and font sizes are defined in this file as well.
You can select text color, text background color, size, and position for In Display Caption. Click on the Opaque
option and the text is displayed on the selected color; otherwise, the background is transparent. In case the
Overlap checkbox is ticked, the IDC is displayed within the insertion. Remove the tick to have it displayed out-
side the insertion! Please note that Overlap has no effect in case the IDC is centered!
The logo is always positioned in the corners of the windows followed by the text unless Center is selected. Se-
lecting the Center position always places the logo to the left of the text.
Changes in the text field are not effective unless the Apply button is clicked. All
remaining settings are applied without additional confirmation.
