How to open
This dialog box is opened from the Display menu. Click the Overlay Settings button.
Description
The overlay information is automatically extracted from the recorded file. The information includes title, date and time, as well as navigational information.
The date and time information is derived from the computer clock, or the GPS time, whichever is chosen on the GPS Time page in the Navigation dialog box. The navigational information is available only if the relevant sensors are connected to the FX80 system.
The overlay appears during playback by default. You can also set it up so that the current overlay data is placed on top of the live feed during the presentation. When a video sequence is recorded, the selected overlay data is automatically added to the video file independent of the choices
you have made in the Overlay Settings dialog box.
