Setting Up The Map Image Dimensions

By default the image will be the size of the mimoLive video output. However it may be useful to change the pixel dimensions of the map image to get a different aspect ratio (like a square) or to change the text font size (a smaller pixel dimension results in bigger text in the video output). You can change the pixel dimensions of the Map Source at the bottom of the source item. Click on the drop down menu for “Render Size” and change it to Custom Size:
