Doremi CineAsset - Manual (Page 63)

• CinePlayer can be set to drop frames in the attempt to play the file in real time.
• Select “Drop frame allowed” to enable this.
• When un-checked, CinePlayer will play every frame available. In this case, if system
performance is low, the playback could be slower than real-time.
• CinePlayer can be configured to not automatically detect the DeckLink I/O card.
• When the DeckLink I/O card is not being used, un-check "Auto detect DeckLink card".
This will improve performance when playing a file directly to the computer monitor.
• Select the "Auto detect DeckLink card" option when the DeckLink I/O card will be used.
• CinePlayer can also be set to run a validation check on each DCP that is loaded.
• Select “Enable dcp validation check” to turn on this feature.
• When selected, the validation options will appear. See Section 3.5.2.2 for more details
on the CineInspect validation options.
• When un-checked, CinePlayer will not run a validation check each time a DCP is loaded
for playback.
• By default, CinePlayer is configured to use the graphic adapters GPU when performing color
conversion. If there is an issue with playback when color conversion is enabled, GPU support
can be disabled. For example, Mac OS X 10.6 does not support the use of GPU for color
conversion in CinePlayer.
• To disable GPU color conversion, uncheck "Use GPU for color conversion".
3.4 CineAsset Render Nodes
CineAsset 6.2.x and later includes support for distributed rendering using render nodes. A render node
is a computer running a special version of the CineAsset engine that requires no user interaction. The
master computer is the workstation with the full version of CineAsset installed and protected with the
hardware dongle. The master dongle contains the number of render nodes purchased by the customer
and available for use. There is no protection on the render node installations. In other words, the
render nodes could be installed on multiple computers on the network.
When the master CineAsset application is running, it will search for render nodes on the network. As
an example, if the CineAsset dongle is licensed for five render nodes, it will use up to five render nodes
it finds on the network when it is processing tasks.
