Chapter 10 – Customizing Presentations
• Background bitmap: Click Browse to navigate to and select a file for a background image. Click Yes or No to
determine whether you want to stretch the image to fill the zone. You can add a background bitmap to Ticker or
Clock zones.
• Safe text region: Define the location (X,Y fields) and size (Width, Height fields) of the text region within the zone.
Editing Audio Only and Enhanced Audio Zones
Audio Only zones allow you to play audio files using a standard or interactive playlist. Enhanced Audio zones provide
similar functionality, but allow fading and cross-fading of audio files: Fading occurs from silence at the beginning of the
audio playlist and to silence at the end of the audio playlist; cross-fading occurs between audio files.
• Audio Output: Choose to output audio via HDMI, Analog Stereo,
and/or SPDIF. Note that analog and SPDIF outputs are only available
on certain models.
o Pass through: Supplies the un-decoded audio signal through
the HDMI/SPDIF connector. Use this option if the zone audio
(for example, AC3 Dolby Digital) is being decoded on an
external device.
o Stereo: Supplies the decoded audio signal through the
HDMI/SPDIF connector.
• Audio Mixing: Sends the stereo, left-only, or right-only audio signal.
• Initial Volume: Set the initial volume for audio files (0-100).
• Minimum Volume: Sets the minimum volume for audio files (0-100).
• Maximum Volume: Sets the maximum volume for audio files (0-100).
Note: The Maximum Volume setting will be overridden by other volume settings in a presentation, including the Initial
Volume setting for the zone and volume commands attached to events or states.
• Fade (in seconds): Sets the duration of cross-fading between audio files, as well as the fade in and fade out
durations at the beginning and ending of a playlist.
