DX-2200

– Dual-view 2x1 SDI Video Switcher

Page 36 of 87

Fonts are loaded into memory individually the first time a layer update is

performed that requires them. The requirement to load the font makes the first

layer update significantly slower.

Selecting font 0 uses a default font that varies depending on the video output

resolution. For 720p, the default font is Font 1, and for 1080p the default is Font 2.

If the font has been set, it can be restored to the default by selecting font 0. For

example, the S2F0 command restores text field #2 to the default font.

Changing the text font does not automatically update the video output. The Text

Font selection has no effect on Fields unless the field type is set to Text.
