Audio Output Features
Overview
In addition to movies, still images, and 3D objects, Mbox can also play audio files. Audio can be played back by any
of the following methods:
+ The Mac computer’s internal speaker.
+ The Mac computer’s line-out or digital audio connectors.
Selecting an Output Device
In order for sound to play, the appropriate audio output device must be selected in the Mac's Sound Preference
window. The balance and volume may also be adjusted at the Sound window.
External Audio Tracks (Associated AIFF Files)
AIFF audio files can be placed in the Media folder with texture files. They are triggered when a content file with the
same folder and file number is played.
Guidelines:
+ To play any associated AIFF audio files, the AIFF Playback checkbox must be checked on Mbox Setup tab (refer
to
"Setup: Options" on page 42). Remember that for this preference to take effect, the Mbox Mini software must
be restarted after this change is made.
+ To trigger an audio file, it must have an identically numbered movie or still image and be placed in the same folder.
+ Associated audio files will only play in the forward direction and their play speed cannot be modified. Only the
Forward Loop or Forward Once play modes can be used. If pause or scrub movie playback is used, the audio will
not follow.
+ Audio files must be AIFF files - Stereo (L&R), 16-bit Integer, Linear PCM encoding, Big-Endian or Little-Endian.
