Background Image

NOTE: Background image is applicable to the DM-NVX-D30(C) and DM-NVX-D80-IOAV.

An image can be uploaded to a DM-NVX-D30(C) or DM-NVX-D80-IOAV and then used as a background image for on-screen display whenever active video content is not being displayed.

NOTE: Supported image file types are .jpeg, .jpg, .and .png. The supported maximum resolution of an image is 3840x2160 pixels. Up to 20 image files can be uploaded for a total storage capacity of up to 100 MB.

To configure a background image, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows as discussed in the following sections.

      • Maintain Aspect Ratio: (Default setting) Maintains the aspect ratio of the image.

      • In the Image File drop-down list, select the desired image from the list of available files. The selected image appears in the Preview window.

        • The image is added to the list in the Manage Images dialog box, which indicates the following:

              • Index: Specifies a number that indicates the order in which the file was uploaded. If an image is deleted, the next image that is loaded is added to the row that was previously occupied by the image that was deleted.
              • File Name: Specifies the file name of the image
              • Status: Indicates that the status of the image is Ready or Failed

              1. In the Remote Path text entry box, enter the URL (HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP) to access the image file from a remote server. The image is uploaded and appears in the Preview window.
