REMOTE USER MANUAL
Offline
Offline editing allows pixel mapping configuration files to be created and edited without running Mbox software. In this
case, a new or existing pixel mapping configuration file (.pmap) can be opened on the computer that is running Mbox
Remote. This mode is useful for creating a configuration in advance without the need for an Mbox server (or license).
Guidelines:
+
The .pmap file to be opened can be local or on any network-connected drive.
+
Changes to the file may be saved locally or to any network-connected drive. (Saving must be done manually
using the Pixel Map menu, since it is not automatic.)
+
When making changes with offline editing, the changes will not be immediately apparent on an Mbox server, even
if it is networked to the Mbox Remote computer and the configuration file is stored on the Mbox in the proper
location.
+
Content can be manually rescanned on an Mbox server by pressing [
R]. This will reload the current pixel
mapping configuration from disk. If changes have been made using the offline editing and these changes have
been saved, then these changes will be applied.
To create a new pixel mapping file on a local computer or network drive:
Step
1. At Pixel Map menu, select New Pix-Map File.
Step
2. At Save As dialog, enter a file name and choose a location to save.
Step
3. Click Save.
To open a pixel mapping file:
Step
1. At Pixel Map menu, select Open.
Step
2. Using Finder, locate and open required file.
The Save and Save As options can also be used with the local or network file.
CAUTION!
Before using the pixel mapping configuration file with an Mbox server, the file must be copied to the
correct folder on the Mbox server. Refer to
