Welcome Screen
The welcome screen feature allows the creation and playback of up to 10 static images on a QAM
channel. Each channel will use the EPG function on a card not currently being used for EPG. The
images will change approximately every 15 seconds. EPG on each COM 46 card can send an
image to a different QAM port.

Image creation
Welcome screens need to be formatted as 24 bit 720x480 bitmaps.
For the purpose of this exercise, we will use PowerPoint to create a screen and Paint to size the
file.
Save the PPT as “welcome1” (all lower case with no spaces) as a Device Independent Bitmap
(*.bmp), as shown in Figure 51 below.
