selecting Custom).
The appearance of each text string can be controlled with the following parameters:
• State (on or off)
• Transparency (on indicates only the letters are displayed, off indicates the letters are
displayed inside an opaque block)
• Color (changes the color of the letters)
• Style Mode (can be Preset, which indicates the information is displayed in certain preset
sizes and locations, or Manual, which requires additional size and location settings)
• Size (text size - small, medium or large)
• Location (preset location on the screen where the information will appear)
2. The Preset label is generally used with FLIR pan/tilt cameras.
