Video Overlay Option (GUI Only)

On systems equipped with the video overlay option, the Program and
Preset video will appear in the upper left hand corner of the GUI screen. On
touch-screen monitors, touching the video display area (or clicking with
the mouse on either a touch-screen or a non-touch screen system) will
enlarge the picture and move it to the upper-right corner. Touching the
enlarged image (or clicking it with the mouse on touch-screen or non-touch
screen systems) will send it back to the original size and location. The video
overlay option supports standard definition (NTSC or PAL) SDI video only.
HD video is not currently supported.

Note

Since the 2.2 version, Maestro supports the ability to control multiple user
systems. This ability to control multiple user systems is ONLY applicable to
the Maestro GUI Control panels.
