DVE border parameters
The rotary encoders and soft buttons in the system control are used to adjust the border parameters.
There are multiple parameters, each requiring an adjustment, therefore the soft/color button and SHIFT
button is used to toggle the parameters that each rotary encoder adjusts.
Border
Enables or disables the border.
Shadow
Enables or disables drop shadow.
Soft/Color
Toggles the control by the rotary encoders between color settings (including
light direction) and softness settings (including size). Capital letters indicate which
settings are currently selected for control.
Out Width
Adjusts the outside width of the border.
Out Soft
Outside softness adjusts the outside edge of the border, the edge that touches
the background video.
Bevel Soft
Bevel softness adjusts the overall softness of the 3d border. A high value for this
parameter will result in a rounded or beveled border.
Opacity
Opacity adjusts the transparency of the border, use this setting to create
interesting colored glass borders.
Hue
Changes the border color. The hue value is a location on the color wheel.
Sat
Changes the intensity of the border color.
Luma

Lite Dir
Adjusts the direction of the light source on the DVE or picture in picture. Both the
border and drop shadow, if available, are affected by changes to this setting.
