Compatibility Between Mbox Versions

All versions of Mbox software (Designer, Studio, and Mini) use the same configuration files for pixel mapping. While
each version has a different maximum number of pixels (none, 6144, and 3072 respectively), there are no other
restrictions or differences between the functionality of Mbox software versions.

Pixel mapping (.pmap) files created by Mbox 3.9 are not compatible with older versions of Mbox software. However,
Mbox 3.9 supports the import of .plist files created by prior versions of Mbox. In this case, old profiles and fixtures will
be upgraded to the new format. The imported fixtures will appear as if every parameter is overridden, since the old
.plist files had no concept of profile reference (which will be explained later in this manual).

Syncing Between Servers

Pixel mapping files can be synced between servers using the Content Management features. To do this, ensure that
the pixel mapping files are placed in the

/Mbox/PixelMapping

folder.

Refer to

"Content Management"

on page 11 for more information about this feature.
