Viz Engine Administrator’s Guide

• X: Sets the horizontal alignment in pixels on the screen. Value is calculated from top

left of the screen.

• Y: Sets the vertical alignment in pixels on the screen. Value is calculated from top

left of the screen.

• Width: Sets the width in pixels.

• Height: Sets the height in pixels.

• Frame: Sets the refresh rate/frequency per frame in hertz (Hz).

• Aspect: Sets the aspect ratio. For example 1.778:1 which is 16:9 or 1.333:1 which

is 4:3.

Note: Make sure that the physical refresh rate of the graphics hardware and the

video hardware is configured correspondingly.

There are 3 frequency groups/families; 50, 59,94 and 60 Hz. This defines the output

format, and how fast Viz Engine operates. The frequency is the same as frames per

second. This will also define the input format that is allowed; hence, an NTSC SD input

cannot produce a PAL SD output, but an HD input with the same frequency as the SD

output would work.
