details on these commands.
Text overlays can implement dynamically displayed text such a news tapes, stock tickers, closed captions,
and for other purposes such as changing the name of the speaker for a presentation due to a last-minute
change of presenters or participants
The Channel Table Text Overlays are transferred to the operating Session parameters at Session startup
and thus initialize the text overlays used during the Session. Once a Session has started modifications to
these entries have no effect until the next Session start.
Changes to the Text Overlay in use during a Session may be made from the Sources page (see Section 6.1)
or from the Configuration menu (see Section 3.5).
4.6.1. State
The enable/disable setting will cause the text to be included or not included in the composite media stream
being created. More than one text window (all four, in fact) may be included if required.
4.6.2. Window (X/Y/W/H)
The X,Y,W,H entries in these fields are integers (pixel values) or percents (of the Frame dimension). The X,Y
offset defined will position the text window relative to the top-left corner of the frame. The W,H values define
the window width and height.
4.6.3. Text alignment
Text may be aligned Left, Center or Right within the window.
4.6.4. Text wrapping
Text wrapping may be enabled or disabled.
4.6.5. Font size
This entry specifies the font size in pixels.
