To set a custom aspect ratio for a video monitor

Adding Safe Area Markers
To add safe area markers for a video monitor in a layout
1 Click the video monitor whose safe area you wish to configure.
2In the Properties pane, select the appropriate options, under Safe area markers.
Adding a Custom Safe Area Image
XEdit allows you to superimpose an image, e.g. a brand graphics, on top of a video monitor
in such a way that a video signal will show through the transparent areas in the graphics.
This is accomplished by adding a free-form safe area image to the video monitor. The image
can be in PNG, GIF, or JPEG format.
Note: Double-click the video monitor, if is part of a composite monitor.
Note: The custom values are appended to the Custom aspect ratio list on
an ongoing basis. They can then be applied to other monitors in other
layouts. Current aspect ratio only lists the current custom ratio, if any, in
addition to the default 16:9, and 4:3 values.
Note: Double-click the video monitor, if is part of a composite monitor.
Notes
• The maximum size for each image is 256 KB, and the maximum overall size
(for all images) is 10
MB. Images can be used on multiple layouts and only
need to be imported to the database once.
