4.1.3 Defining the object properties
Double click on an object to open the Edit object dialog box. Within this dialog box all properties of this object
can be set.
Most important is to specify on the first tab the type of the object. Video, Audio, Text, UMD, Tally, Logo, Clock,
Timer, Stopwatch, Alarm, Viewer or Application can be selected. The type dependant properties must be set
on the Properties tab. Here you can select the video source, if you have an object of type video. Please refer
also to section
5.6.4 Edit object….
In the work area, the object type and size are displayed in the top left corner of the object. For video objects the
source name is also displayed between brackets. When creating a new video object the first available source will
automatically be linked to it.
Most of the properties of an object can be saved. Click the red save object button
to do this. Object proper-
ties can be assigned to another object by multiple ways:
• Once saved, the object properties are available in the tree structure in the Objects folder. If you select an
object on the work area, and click on an object name in the tree, the saved properties are assigned to the
selected object.
• The cut object button
copies most of the properties of the selected object and deletes the object.
• The copy object button
copies most of the properties of the selected object without deleting it.
• With the paste object button
the copied properties can be assigned to another object.
• Alternatively the paste new object button
creates a new object containing the copied properties.
