---|---|---|
1. | Create the event with the desired static overlays. | Use the REST API or the web interface. |
2. | Start the event. | Use the REST API or the web interface. |
3. | While the event is running, set up more static overlays as desired. | Use the REST API. |
You can implement all features described in this section via REST as well as the web interface. This section describes how to use the web interface to insert a graphic overlay. For instructions on doing so via REST, see Using the REST API for static overlays.
The following are valid web interface and REST API combinations:
-
Initial setup via web interface and run-time changes via the REST API.
-
Initial setup and run-time changes via the REST API.
If you use the web interface to perform the initial setup, note the following restrictions:
-
You cannot specify more than 8 static overlays in the event.
-
You must set up all the static overlays before the event starts to run; there is no mechanism for changing static overlays at runtime via the web interface.
