About overlays
Note

About overlay text
An overlay text can display the current date and time, or a text string. When using a text string, so-called modiers can be used to
display information such as the current bit rate or the current frame rate.
It is also possible to display text when an action rule is triggered, see How to include overlay text in an action rule on page 21.

Date/Time Formats in the online help

4. Select size, color, and placement of the text string.
5. Click Save.
To modify the date and time format, go to System Options > Date & Time. See Date & Time on page 48.
