MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 191
SETTING SERVER PREFERENCES
Setting Mbox Server Preferences Remotely
If you select a server or layer on the Remote main window and then press [  P],
the Mbox Server Preferences window will open. This window allows you to
remotely set the preferences of the server: Art-Net Universe, Number of Layers,
Alignment Rectangles.
To edit a setting, click inside the box that surrounds the name of the setting. The
preference will become active so that it can be edited. Note that text values will
require pressing [enter] to accept them.
Note: Some preferences require the Mbox application to be relaunched before
they take effect. These preferences are noted by the presence of two diamonds
after the pref's name.
Example: Setting Up Alignment Rectangles Using Remote
Certain preferences have more complex settings, such as the Alignment
Rectangles configuration. (Refer to
"Alignment Rectangles" on page 107 for
more information about them.)
To setup Alignment Rectangles on a server using Mbox Remote application:
Step 1. Using Remote, open Mbox Server Preferences window (for the desired
server).
Step 2. Click inside Alignment Rectangles box.
Step 3. At Alignment Rectangles edit window, press "+" button to add a rectangle or "-" to delete a rectangle. When
a rectangle is added, it will receive an index number (beginning with 0). You may have up to 256 rectangles
(0 - 255).
Step 4. Use Name field to enter a name for the rectangle.
Step 5. Use X, Y, W, and H fields to specify an origin (X, Y) and size (Width, Height) for the rectangle. Keep in mind
that the origin (0,0) of the Mbox display is the top-left corner.
