4.7 Visualizer

../img/visualizer.png

Type gmerlin_visualizer to start this. Gmerlin visualizer opens your soundard for recording and displays a visualization in a window. It supports fullscreen and mouse- and keyboard interaction with visuals for visualization plugins, which support this. If you move the mouse or press the “Menu key”, the toolbar will show up (either method can be disabled). It will be hidden again after the mouse is idle for some seconds.

In the upper left row, you can change the input plugin, show info about the plugin ../img/info_16.png or configure the visualization ../img/config_16.png .

In the lower left row, you can change the recording- and display plugins ../img/plugin_16.png , set global (plugin independent) options ../img/config_16.png , restart the visualization ../img/refresh_16.png , switch to fullscreen ../img/fullscreen_16.png or back ../img/windowed_16.png . Moreover you can show or hide the Log window ../img/log_16.png or exit ../img/quit_16.png the application.

The VU-meter at the right displays the recording level as it comes from the device (i.e. before the visualizer gain is applied).

You have the following Shortcuts:

f
Toggle fullscreen mode
Tab
Toggle fullscreen mode
Escape
Exit fullscreen mode
Menu
Show toolbar

All other keyboard- and mouse events are propagated to the display plugin and then to the visualization plugin.
