Page Editor
The Page Editor allows you to edit secondary events such as graphics and graphics with embedded video clips. The content for each page field can be manually set directly with a value using editor or dynamically set by Page Content Filling.
Note that Page Editor can only be opened when the local Viz Engine is successfully connected.
This section covers the following topics:
Scene Preview Player
The Preview Player shows a representation of the graphics and video clips. In addition, it shows the defined title and safe area and the bounding boxes. Bounding boxes are related to the graphics scene's editable elements (see the Page Fields List section).

Image Editor
There are three browsers for choosing an image. You can see the image path or URL in Image Textbox when an image is set.

You can also adjust position or scaling of an image, and can see the adjustment in the Scene Preview Player. There are three choices when adjusting scaling of an image:
-
Linked: x and y values change at the same time, with the same value.
-
Proportional: x and y values change at the same time, with the initial proportion.
-
Single: only x or y value changes.
Video Editor
Video Editor only supports browsing a video from the Viz One browser. Viz One needs to be enabled in Global Settings first.
Once a video is set, the Title and House Id can be checked below the browser.
Clock Editor
Clock Editor is used for a clock type field to create a timer. You can set the start and halt time for the timer, or let the timer count indefinitely. Also, the timer can be set to count up or count down.
