Is it possible to apply an image mask to the video zone.

We will be using Brightsign to show some old archival 4:3 video on a 16:9 monitor. We would like to give the impression that the video is being watched on an old style TV by displaying the video within a frame that looks like a vintage TV set. Is it possible to mask the video or will I have define a prefect rectangle for the video and piece together the frame from multiple image zones?

Thanks and regards,

    There might be some flicker, but you can create a video zone, and an imagezone. The image zone will always be on top. If you play an image in the image zone that's a png file with transparent regions, the video will show through the transparent portion of the image.





    We have a new beta that's not yet released widely publicly that adds a video only zone that fixes the flicker issue.
