Video Input Zones: Creation and Options

1. Hover over the “MEDIA” tab, and click “ADD MEDIA”.
2. Click on the “PREMIUM” category.
3. Click the “VIDEO INPUT” app.

On the Video Input tab, there are multiple options to configure, as follows:

1. Device Input – This should not be changed from the default value of “/dev/video0” unless directed by Mvix support staff
2. Input Type – Should be selected to match your source video feed to the Xhibit (HDMI, component or DVI video)
3. Ratio – Match the aspect ratio of your source video feed connected to the Xhibit (16:9, 4:3, 3:2)
4. Source Width & Source Height – Match the pixel dimensions of the source video feed (ex. 1920×1080, 1280×720, 640×480, etc)
5. Audio – Enables/disables audio capture along with the video input source

Once you have made the appropriate adjustments:

• Name the file
• Click “Save” to add it to your library.
• NOTE: The video input module is only compatible with progressive scan content – i.e. 720p, 1080p.
