Custom Margins for fullscreen mode.

Post by B-Side »

One of my fears about switching from analog (svideo) to digital (HDMI) video is that not all TVs are the same. The bezel of most screens I plug into cuts off the edges of the singers screen.

I figured out how to do a custom frame, but then other TVs show a white border around the singer screen and others it's still getting cut off. I know I can uncheck the margins button that's implemented, but forcing higher resolution on CDG tracks makes the lyrics really small, and the scrolling message still gets cut off some TVs.

I figure an option to have access to add personalized margins would fix this issue. Please note that I'm asking for both graphics and scrolling message to be able to be altered to make it look like normal on any TV.

Along with this issue, I noticed that a certain manufacturer that uses it's own hosting software makes CDG tracks that utilize the hidden x,y coordinates (x 0 and 49, y 0 and 17). When playing the tracks on their software, it shows everything like normal, but on any other software, because of the limitation, it cuts off part of the words. I was wondering if you could find a way to get those parts of the track visible.

The margin sounds like a good idea, we will add it. At the moment we are working on new Creator software with AI, which should be ready in July. After it is released we will get back to Siglos.

As of invisible CD+G parts -- I do not think it is possible.

I figured that might be the case, but figured I would ask. I don't know how they get theirs to read it properly and they refuse to change it cause "it works as intended".

It is possible technically, but impossible to turn it on in Siglos, as it would mean messing too much with the CD+G rendering code. But maybe you can send me one of the CD+Gs that have this, so I will keep that in mind if we revisit/modify the rendering code.
