Video Overlay Display. Hidden Feature?

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Has anyone else discovered the video overlays in the camera control? I just discovered this and I haven't seen a topic on it so I thought I would post.... While the camera is on, right click on the video image and you can embed a text overlay on the video image itself... Sort of like a HUD... I have in one of my projects a ping distance sensor displayed on the video image...

@Richard are script commands allowed in there? I haven't used it for a while but thought it was only actual variables (however it wouldn't surprise me to learn script commands such as GetVoltage() GetPing(D7, D8) etc work

@Rich... The above works for me, so does GetPing..... So the answer I guess is yes, albeit one script line only... However, you can have more than one overlay if you need a ping and maybe voltage reading as well....

I guess something like this would also work...

"Ping: " + GetPing(D7,D8) + "Date: "+ $Date + "Time: " + $Time
