PLAYMODES
Kiosk Playmodes
Several Kiosk Modes are available for controlled playback of files.
+ 180 - Kiosk Mode non-looping, pause on last frame of last file - this is the same as the range of 180-184 in Mbox
Extreme v3.3.
+ 181 - Kiosk Mode non-looping, loop last file - this mode will loop the last file in the folder using the layer's
currently selected crossfade type and time.
+ 182 - Kiosk Mode non-looping, fade out last file - this mode will fade the last file to transparent using the layer's
current crossfade time.
+ 185-189 - Kiosk Mode looping - This playmode will play through all the files in a folder in sequential order, looping
back to the first file when it reaches the end of the last file.
+ 190-199 - SMPTE Kiosk mode - This playmode will play timecode-linked files in a folder, triggering playback of
any new file (from that folder) when timecode reaches that file’s starting point.
Guidelines:
+ The two non-SMPTE Kiosk modes use the layer’s current crossfade type and time when switching from one piece
of content to the next. These two modes require the first desired piece of content in the folder to be selected.
+ The SMPTE Kiosk mode requires any valid SMPTE-linked piece of content in the folder to be selected; this should
typically be the first piece of content desired. Folders for use with SMPTE Kiosk mode should not include any
non-SMPTE linked content. It is also a good idea to make the first and last frame of any SMPTE-linked content
black to avoid an undesirable paused frame as the layer waits for the appropriate SMPTE to initiate playback.
+ The SMPTE Kiosk mode requires the use of the MediaTimeCodes.plist for assignment of start times for the
individual files (refer to
"Linking Files to Timecode (Method 1)" on page 99. It is not compatible with the TC DMX
Controls.
Playout Playmodes
Playout modes can be used on bump buttons, such as the Restart mode. The Playout modes are as follows:
+ 240 - Playout Mode, last 5 seconds - playback position will skip ahead to five seconds from the end of the movie.
+ 241 - Playout Mode, last 10 seconds - playback position will skip ahead to ten seconds from the end of the
movie.
+ 242 - Playout Mode, last 15 seconds - playback position will skip ahead to fifteen seconds from the end of the
movie.
+ 243 - Playout Mode, last 20 seconds - playback position will skip ahead to twenty seconds from the end of the
movie.
+ 244 - Playout Mode, last 30 seconds - playback position will skip ahead to thirty seconds from the end of the
movie.
The playout points can be modified using the preferences available in the Mbox Remote application. The preference is
called "Playout Points" and the format is in whole numbered seconds (five separate values). Refer to
"Setting Mbox
Server Preferences Remotely" on page 191 for more information.
