8.1 HUD Anatomy
The top part of the HUD displays the DMX parameter for the selected layer. Each parameter
occupies one row.
Below the DMX data are the layer thumbnails. These are updated live and show the content of each
layer individually. Next to each thumbnail is a bar indicating the intensity of that layer. In the
example above, layers 1 to 4, and the text layer, are programmed. The thumbnail of the resulting
output layer can be seen, even though its intensity is 0.
The colour bars are part of the HUD to ensure that there is always full colour in the output no matter
which effects have been applied. This gives confidence in what is being output to the projector.
Whenever a layer is showing moving content, the media bar is displayed. This shows dynamic
information about of the movie.
The bottom right area shows static configuration information. This typically doesn't change unless
the system is re-configured and the player restarted.
