Logo Profiles

The Logo Profile dialog is used to extend the image files that have been uploaded in the Manage Image Files dialog to a logo profile with the corresponding display options.

A logo profile is the combination of an image file and its positioning information in the camera image.

Logo Display

Select the desired option to either activate or deactivate the logo display in the camera image.

Profiles & Options

Note: Click on the More button to display all options for all profiles.

Note:	Click on the More button to display all options for all profiles.

Set the following parameters in the Image Profiles dialog for each profile:

Parameters

Description

Logo n

Enter a unique logo name. The camera will use this name for error messages.
Valid characters are letters, digits, dot, comma and underscore.

Enable Logo

Using this switch, you can temporarily hide individual logos. Hidden logos remain stored and can be shown again later on.

Time Table Profile

To show a logo time-controlled, you can select a Time Table.

Live Image Logo

Using this option, you define whether or not the logo is displayed in the live image.

Image Link Logo

Specify, whether or not the logo may be used for custom image formats. When you choose the setting force, the logo is displayed in every image and cannot be removed.

Image Sizes

Highlight the allowed camera resolutions that may use this logo. The logo is only displayed in the image when it has been approved for this resolution.

Note:	When you do not highlight any option, the logo is used with every resolution.

Logo Opacity

Use this option to define how visible the logo is displayed within the camera image. Specifying the opacity value lower than 100% results in the actual camera image to shine through. If you would like to obtain a watermark effect, try setting the opacity to 20 to 30%.

Image List

The image list contains all available Image Files. You may use one or multiple image files for a logo. When selecting several image files, they are displayed one at a time (rotated) at short intervals.

Rotation Interval

Specify the interval for displaying the image files from the image list one at a time.

Positioning Mode

The logo image files can be positioned in the camera image in two different ways. For each possibility, the alignment and offset information is interpreted differently.

Relative: The logo is positioned in the camera image relative to its alignment, the image size is not relevant.
Frame: The logo is drawn as frame around the entire camera image as described under Creating Frames later in this topic.

	Positioning: Relative	Positioning: Frames
X/Y Alignment	The logo is aligned relative to the camera image.	Ignored
X/Y Offset	Border offset from the aligned image border in dots.	Size of the corner portions of the frame in dots. For additional information on this topic, see the Creating Frames help topic.

Deleting Profiles

In order to delete a profile, check the Delete option in the top right corner of the profile. The profile will be deleted as soon as you click on the Set button in the lower part of the dialog.

Creating Frames

Using an image file, you can draw a frame in the camera image. Make sure Positioning is set to Frame.

The image files should be square as they will be divided into 9 frame pieces: 4 corner pieces, 4 edge pieces and one unused center piece.
The corner pieces should be identical in size. The size is set by the X/Y Offset menu parameters.
The edge pieces are repeated until the entire image width and height is filled:

Corner Upper/left	Edge piece top	Corner Upper/right
Edge piece left	Unused.	Edge piece right
Corner Bottom/left	Edge bottom	Corner Bottom/right

Hint:	It is recommended to create an image file with dimensions that can easily be divided by three, e.g. 90 x 90 pixels.

Frame File - Example

The sample file shown fulfills all prerequisites to be used as a frame:

Format: PNG
Size: 90 x 90 pixels
Shape: Square

To configure this image files as frame:

Download this file to your computer (right-click on the file and then click on Save Image as...).
Open the Manage Image Files dialog and transfer this file to your camera.
In this dialog, click on the Set button.
Open the Logo Profiles dialog and click on the Add new logo definition button at the end of this dialog.
In the new profile, set the Display Logo parameter to show.
In the Image List field, select the example_frame entry.
Set the Positioning parameter to Frame.
Enter a value of 35 for both the X Offset and the Y Offset parameters.
Click on the Set button and check how the frame is displayed in the camera's Live Image.

Adapt the frame's Opacity as desired.

Storing the Configuration

Click on the Set button to activate your settings and to save them until the camera is rebooted.

Click on the Close button to close the dialog. While closing the dialog, the system checks the entire configuration for changes. If changes are detected, you will be asked if you would like to store the entire configuration permanently.
