No Signal Screen
Make any display look as if it has lost its input. Choose colour bars, static or a blue screen, edit the message and go full screen.
Clear the Message box to remove the label. Double-click the screen for full screen.
The three styles
- Colour bars. Seven vertical bars in white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red and blue. Broadcasters use bar patterns like this to line up equipment, and they became the familiar sign of a channel that is off air.
- Static noise. The flickering "snow" of an analogue television tuned to an empty channel.
- Blue. The plain blue that many monitors, projectors and video players show when nothing is connected.
Uses
- Prank. Put it on the family TV through a laptop or casting, or on a colleague's monitor, and let them check the cables. More ideas in harmless computer pranks.
- Stream placeholder. A "be right back" or "starting soon" screen. Change the message to suit.
- Film and theatre prop. A believable dead screen for a scene.
The static style flickers rapidly. Avoid it if you or your viewers are sensitive to flashing images.
