8.1.2. Hi-Definition 720p Layout Example
For archival purposes or for playback on hi-definition 16:9 screens the following example gives the
dimensions of a 720p layout that NCast and its customers have used successfully to capture conference
proceedings and other seminars. The capture window used is WXGA at 1280x720 resolution and 16:9
aspect ratio. The Main graphics window occupies an area of 960x720 (Custom Window 1) and the PIP video
window is set to 320x240 (Custom Window 2). In this example the Graphic Overlay 1 .png image is 320x480
and is located at (0,240). For a graphics framerate of 30 frames/second a bitrate of 2.5 Mbps produces
excellent results.
