Device Operation
Slate / logo insertion is managed from within Velocity. The difference between a “slate” and “logo” is in the size
of the image and how it is used: Logos are classified as smaller, low-resolution images that can be positioned at
specified locations on the screen. Slates occupy the entire screen. Note that while logos may be used as slates, the
image quality will be degraded, as the image will be scaled to fill the screen.
Slate / logo insertion can be performed on both the encoder and decoder. When configured on the encoder, the
image that is displayed on the output (decoder) will be from the encoder IP address(es) to which each decoder is
subscribed. When configured on the decoder, the image is unique to the specified HDMI output.
