Step 1: Install LogoCreator Software
All logos used by the X50 must either be generated as .mg2 files, or converted to that
format. LogoCreator software is contained in the Icon Soft Tools package, found on our
website.
For best results, LogoCreator requires a PC with the following system specifications:

Intel Pentium III processor at 500 MHz or faster

512 MB or more of physical memory (RAM)

Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP or Windows 2000
If a version of LogoCreator already exists on the PC, ensure that you first uninstall the
program and restart the computer. Then proceed with the steps below:
1 Close all other software applications running on the PC and then insert the IconTools
CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM tray.
2 Using Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM contents, and then double-click the
LogoCreator folder.
3 Double-click Setup.exe .
4 When the IconTools 3 Setup box appears, click Next , and then follow the on-screen
installation instructions.
Step 2: Convert Files to the .mg2 Format
Using LogoCreator, you need a source image file for the fill portion of your logo, and a
source image file for the key portion. The fill is the picture or image you want to overlay
onto the program output. The key is the cutout or shape of the desired logo, which may or
may not be the same shape as the fill. Using LogoCreator, you will set the fill and key
images to the same size (resolution) as the standard of the X50 output. LogoCreator infers
the key from the alpha channel in a targa (.tga) file.
After you save the logo, the logo displays in your LogoCreator workspace. To save your logo
files using LogoCreator, follow these steps:
1 In LogoCreator, select the Video Standard from the Menu bar.
Note: When 720p or 1080p is required, use the 1080i option in Video Standard to
provide the best loading time. Ensure that you create 720p and 1080p graphics in full
screen, with the logo already positioned correctly beforehand. Although the logo may not
appear in the safe area in LogoCreator, it will be correctly placed in the final video output.
2 Open the Logo Set-Up dialog box ( Figure 3-23 below).
When you first open LogoCreator, the Logo Set-Up dialog box opens automatically. If the
Logo Set-Up dialog box is closed, select File > New to open the dialog box.
