VIDEO4 Configuration software

The "VIDEO4 Configuration Tool" is the software that you need to use to design the graphics overlay that the VIDEO4 system adds to its video recordings. The video overlay can be almost any combination of bitmaps, dials, bargraphs, text and numerical values. It is also possible to only show particular graphics under particular conditions making it very flexible and powerful.

A number of example layouts are supplied with the VIDEO4 system, so it is not necessary to design your own unless you have an application that requires it.

The software doesn't include any method of editing the bitmaps, that must be done on an external application and loaded in. The bitmaps use alpha blending, which varies the transparency of the image, offering smooth blending and transparency through to the underlying video.

All our software is available as a single download which includes all programs and the documentation. This is available for free download here.

There are many ready made overlays for the VIDOE4. Some are supplied with the software, and there is a free download area here where the latest additions can be acquired. Having many ready made overlays makes it quick and easy for anyone to get up and running with the system. It is also possible to make a completely custom overlay, either by modifying one of ours or starting completely from scratch.

If no overlay is required for a particular application then it can, of course, be left blank. The following examples show the various graphic display methods, which may be user defined and added to the screen in a number of different combinations:
