MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL

If you create an object that is scaled to match a particular piece of 2D content (which is measured in pixels), and you
want Mbox to treat generic units as pixels, add the suffix ".pixels" to the file's name before it is compiled. Example:

a file named - 001.NewObject.obj should be renamed as - 001.NewObject.pixels.obj

In this case, an object that is 200 generic units tall will appear as 200 pixels tall within Mbox. And a piece of 2D
content that is 200px high would fit exactly when applied to that object.

DHA and VARI*LITE Digital Gobos

A selection of DHA and VL gobos are included in the

/Mbox/Models

folder of the rental Mbox Extreme server. These

are "digital gobos," and are treated like 3D models in many regards. There are four folders of gobos (003, 004, 005,
and 006) saved as .svge (Scalable Vector Graphics Encrypted) files. The files are copy-protected using the same
scheme that copy-protects the stock movie content.
