32 MBOX ® STUDIO USER MANUAL
Setup: Video Inputs
The Video Inputs section is used to select and configure the local video inputs to the
server. These inputs can be a PCIe video capture card (e.g., Blackmagic Decklink)
or a USB or FireWire camera.
When setting up the video inputs, make sure that none of the layers are attempting
to display the video input that is being configured. It may also be necessary to open
the Preference window (in the Mac System Preferences) to select the type of signal
that is being received (SDI, Composite, or Component) by a video capture card.
Refer to "Video Input" on page 75 for more information.
Setup: Options
The Options section is used to enable/disable various software features.
+ No Diagnostics - Checking this box will disable the MBOX Studio automatic
error-reporting images such as the icons for locked content, broken movie, etc.
(Checking this box is recommended during show situations).
+ Pixel Map Enable - Checking this box enables the processing of pixel-mapping
patches and the resulting Art-Net output. (Unless you are using pixel-mapping,
this box should be left unchecked.)
+ AIFF Playback - Checking this box enables AIFF audio playback. (The MBOX Studio software must be restarted
for this change to take effect.) This checkbox has no effect on embedded audio playback. Refer to
"Embedded
Audio Tracks (in QuickTime Movies)" on page 55.
Setup: Media Log (Media Errors)
The Media Log button opens the MBOX Media Report window, which contains a list of
reported errors. When MBOX Studio performs a media scan, it looks for errors or other
conflicts and reports them. For example, two media files with the same number would be
reported as an error in the log. The log also lists all media content found by MBOX Studio
during the scan. If a file does not appear in this list, then the server will not attempt to play
it.
The following is an example Media Report window:
