Using the ImageShift utility
This section describes the ImageShift utility and how to use it. The ImageShift utility allows
you to set in motion any of the built-in or bitmap static images stored in the generator.
Image shifting can be controlled at both the pixel level in horizontal and vertical directions,
and on a per frame basis. The shift pattern can be set to either a repeated pattern or back
and forth (reversed).
You can create your own imageshift files in order to specify particular image shifting
configurations to invoke. This enables you to quickly invoke an image shifting set of
parameters to apply.
The ImageShift function can be configured and run either through the front panel or the
command line. Procedures for both are provided.
Using the ImageShift utility through the front panel
The procedure for configuring and running the ImageShift utility is provided below.
To use the ImageShift utility through the front panel:
1. Physically connect a monitor to the generator at any of the interfaces using a suitable
cable.
2. Press the Tools key. The Tools menu appears on the generator’s display as shown
below.
3. Choose ImgShift by pressing the adjacent soft key. The following menu appears on the
generator’s display.
This display enables you to browse for a bitmap image or a built-in image stored in
cache.
