Overlay Settings

How the counter and streamers look on this device. Each device keeps its own look.

Default

On, the overlay draws as it always has and the controls below are ignored. Off, the controls shape it. Custom values are kept either way.

Picture

What plays behind the overlay on this device while a program runs: the program film, or the cue's own video. The external display always shows the program film.

Measure Counter

Bar number, beat dots and meter. Size scales the number and the meter label together.

Beat Dots and Punches

The dots mark the felt beats of the bar; a punch is the flash a landing streamer makes. Each has its own size.

Labels

The text elements of the overlay. Their size follows the Measure Counter size.

Streamers

Bar height as a fraction of the overlay, and position up or down. Two switches add streamers the cue's author did not write: one at every barline, one at every beat, each travelling a constant three seconds.

Direction

Streamers travel left to right, right to left, or drop from the top. The courtesy meter trails on the approach side.
