This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

The XT1143, 4K1142, XD1132, and XD1230 models support live-video playback from another source via the HDMI® Input port. To add a Live Video state, select a Video or Images or Video Only zone, click the **Other** tab, and drag the **Live Video** icon to the playlist area.

- **Volume**: Specify the volume of the video input (between 0 and 100).
- **Time on screen**: Specify the amount of time the video input is displayed on screen.
- **Overscan**: Check this box to display the video input beyond the edges of the zone. Use this option if the source video signal is using an overscan setting.

:::hint{type="warning"}
We do not recommend displaying a Live Video state at the same time as an [RF In](docId\:nEk4eBOJYouYEEdAoWWH_) state (in two different video zones, for example).
