Overview
The MAIN Tab (Figure 8
) visualizes the module’s functionality. The audio and video
signals are presented flowing from left to right. Selections are made using onscreen
sliders, radio buttons, drop down selections and checkboxes. The screen can be
zoomed in/out using the mouse-wheel or the navigation tool in the top left corner of the
screen. When zooming closer, the contents of the individual boxes will become visible.
flexGUI path highlighting and signal patching
The flexGUI shows all current signal connections as lines (i.e. it does not show
any signal lines that are actually unused dead ends). Hovering the mouse pointer
over any such signal line will highlight the complete signal path that leads to this
point. This illustrates clearly where the particular signal is coming from. Similarly,
the downstream path is highlighted to show where this signal is going to.
To re-connect a signal (change the routing) you can think of a signal line as a
patch-cable that has to be connected to the desired source. Hovering the mouse-
pointer over a flexible signal will show a handle. Grab the handle (click-and-hold)
with the left mouse button and drag-and-drop it to the new desired source. More
details are shown below.
