can be encoded with, or without an HTML presentation. Any presentation can be encoded with or
without and AV source.
There are two tabs on the Video Encoder page: Channels and Presentations. Presentations are simple
HTML5 websites stored on the MX-400. Channels are created by the encoders. Your system may have
one or more encoders depending upon model and licensing.
This features is not available on the MX-400 model. When available, as it is on
the MX-100, this feature will map the capture input to the HDMI (or other available port) output of the
device.
Presentations
Video Wrapper presentations are java script animated HTML5 web pages that define how the resulting
TV channel screen is partitioned into video, advertisements, score, social media photos, date/time,
temperature, menu boards, logos, and any other media you might want to present in the TV channel.
Choose from West Pond’s collection of Presentation Templates or modify one to create your own.
Templates can be very simple, for example overlaying a logo on the video, or complex such as a score
board with dynamic advertisements, logos, game score and clock. Most templates can be used without
making any HTML or java script changes. This is done by replacing the presentation template sample
images with your own, or using the presentation configuration page to select a new image. Clicking on
launches the presentation configuration utility
specific to that presentation. Use these web pages to
change the characteristics of the presentation. A
help system is included. The MX-400 system will be
preloaded with a few useful templates. More are
available at

The best way to learn about this is to click on a few
and see what can be done. Below are a few
examples. Version two, available now, has a number of advanced features that were not available with
the version one templates. Most notably the ability to support animation such as a marquee scroll or
animated gif.
