  • 1.  Non-uniform scale video preview

    Posted 12-03-2017 17:41
    We're outputing three screens wide of video from Xpression, but dashboard shows the preview output as an HD aspect, squishing the text to the point it's unreadable. We'd like to scale the preview window to 3x wide HD - is it possible?

    The XPression Desktop Preview engine outputs 1920x1080 by default. I have forwarded this question to the XPression team for further comment/ideas.

    In the meantime, you could add the following code to your Custom Panel to adjust the preview to stretch to fill the entire widget instead of maintaining a 16:9 aspect ratio - this should allow you to make the box 3x wider to see something closer to your desired output.

    <ogscript handles="onload">
    //Workaround to force DashBoard's preview widget to fill the entire space instead of maintaining 16:9 ratio
    ogscript.setStyle('PREVIEW_WIDGET_1', 'bg-fill:both'); // Channel 1
    ogscript.setStyle('PREVIEW_WIDGET_2', 'bg-fill:both'); // Channel 2
    ogscript.setStyle('PREVIEW_WIDGET_3', 'bg-fill:both'); // Channel 3
    ogscript.setStyle('PREVIEW_WIDGET_4', 'bg-fill:both'); // Channel 4
    </ogscript>
