Play Modes
Play modes can be used to create both In/Out and Random/Stop frames for media playback. Refer to
“Play Modes” on page 60 for Play mode DMX512 mappings.
In and Out Frame
The In and Out Frame feature provides a method for setting a start and stop frame for a video clip in
order to loop between two points. Like the Effects and Transitions feature, the In/Out frame can be
applied to Background or Object textures.
To set In/Out frames using DMX512 control:
Step 1. Set Play mode to value between 80-89.
Step 2. Adjust In Frame to desired in point.
Step 3. Set Play mode to value between 90-99.
Step 4. Adjust Out frame to desired out point.
Step 5. Set Play mode to 0 for Forward Loop playback.
Random and Stop
The Random feature provides a method for playing frames in random order. The Stop feature halts
play.
To play frames in random order:
•
Set encoder at a value between 60-69.
To stop play:
•
Set play speed to 0.
Live Video Input
The Mbox Extreme Media Server supports two separate live video inputs from FireWire® video
devices and the SDI video capture card installed in the Macintosh® G5 computer. The live video is
displayed on an available background.
To control live video:
Step 1. Set Texture Library channel to 255.
Step 2. Set Background to 254 (Local Camera 2) or 255 (Local Camera 1).
Note: If no camera is connected and Diagnostics are enabled, a "No Camera" image appears on the
display.
