pointing at.
You can specify the length of time each feed is displayed for. By
default the cycle period is 10 seconds but you can change this
(from 1 to 99 seconds) if required.
While a video cycle is running, you cannot change the aspect ratio,
contrast, brightness or color levels of the video image.

2. Select Cycle 1 and the name of the input you want to set as the
first view in the cycle.
3. Repeat this process for each successive input in the cycle.

13.7 Adjusting the image
Unless a video cycle is running, you can make changes to the
aspect ratio, contrast, color and brightness settings in the video
application.
Mirror image
Setting up a video window to display a mirror-image of the video
feed can be useful if you have, for example, a rear-facing camera
linked to a forward-facing display.
Aspect ratio
The video application automatically detects the appropriate aspect
ratio for each input source. If an image appears distorted
(squashed or stretched), you can override the automatic setting to
choose the appropriate aspect ratio manually.
An aspect ratio of 4:3 is standard format, while 16:9 is widescreen
format.
To change the aspect ratio

color. If a video cycle is running, this adjustment is unavailable.
