Standby Video / Colorbars Images on Chroma Hardware and Legacy Windows Hardware
By default, Streambox Decoders and Media Players have the Standby Video feature enabled. Whenever the Decoder or Player is not receiving, it will output/display these static images which indicate that the Decoder or Player are working. They may also appear if the Decoder or Player is buffering an incoming stream and does not yet have enough incoming bitrate to fully form the video picture. These images will scale automatically to the output video resolution of the last stream.
If Standby Video is disabled, the Decoder will display the last frame it received in a video stream.
The following files, listed here with their resolutions, are the bitmap files which hold the Standby Video images. Customers can replace these default colorbar images with their own test pattern, standby screen, logo, or other informational image.
These files can be altered or replaced with other bitmap files of the same resolution and filename.
On Linux rackmounts, the files are in the [root]\Streambox folder
