33 Welcome Screen
The welcome screen feature allows the creation and playback of up to 10 static images on a
QAM channel.
➢ Each welcome channel will use the EPG function on a card not currently being used for EPG or
Guide.XML
➢ The images will change approximately every 15 seconds. EPG on each COM51 card can send an
image to a different QAM port.
33.1 Welcome Screen Image Creation
➢ Welcome screens need to be formatted as 24 bit 720x480 bitmaps. There are multiple software
tools to edit images. For the purpose of this exercise, we will use PowerPoint to create a screen
and Paint to size the display file.
➢ Create a informational slide in PowerPoint as shown below in Figure 59.

➢ Save the PPT as “welcome1” (all lower case with no spaces) as a Device Independent Bitmap
