MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 35
Power-Up Overview
When an Mbox Extreme server is powered up, it will typically launch the Mbox Designer application. (If for some
reason the application does not start automatically, locate the Mbox Designer icon on the Apple® dock and click
once). If the software was installed on your computer, then find the Mbox Designer application in the /Applications/
Mbox Designer folder and launch it as you would any other application.
When launched, the Mbox Designer software will initially show a splash screen. After a brief pause, the application
window will appear. During this time the software will scan and index all media. Depending on the preferences, the
software may enter Fullscreen mode. In Fullscreen mode, if no control signal is being received the output screen may
be black.
While in Window mode, the application window and its user interface will be shown. This window contains two tabs:
Mbox and Setup as shown in this sample screen below:
Upon launch, the Mbox tab will be selected. This tab shows the server’s video output. The Setup tab is used to
configure the server preferences and operating modes. Refer to
"Application Window" on page 55 for more in-depth
information about these functions.
While Mbox Designer is running, there are two important key combinations to note:
+ To toggle between Fullscreen or Window mode, press [  F].
+ To quit Mbox Designer, press [  Q].
