• To ensure that the aspect ratio of the imported image is preserved, you
should position the graphics on a fully transparent background with the
same aspect ratio as the video monitor on which it is to appear.
• In the case of a cascade system, XEdit must be connected to the
multiviewer that will provide the source for the corresponding video
monitor. A monitor that is not associated with a specific source is displayed
by the system closest to the display.
