MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 27
GETTING STARTED
Power-Up Overview
When an MBOX server is powered up, it will typically launch the MBOX Designer application. (If for some reason the
application does not start automatically, locate the MBOX Designer icon on the Apple® dock and click once).
When launched, the MBOX Designer software will initially show a splash screen. After a brief pause, the application
window will appear. During this time the software will scan and index all media. Depending on the preferences, the
software may enter Fullscreen mode. In Fullscreen mode, if no control signal is being received the output screen may
be black.
While in Window mode, the application’s user interface will be shown. This window contains three tabs: Mbox, Setup,
and Pixel Map as shown in this sample screen below:
Upon launch, the Mbox tab will be selected. This tab shows the server’s video output. The Setup tab is used to
configure the server preferences and operating modes, while the Pixel Map tab is used for configuration of the Pixel
Map and its Art-Net output. Refer to
"Application Window" on page 42 for more in-depth information about these
functions.
While MBOX Designer is running, there are two important key combinations to note:
+ To toggle between Fullscreen or Window mode, press [  F].
+ To quit MBOX Designer, press [  Q].
