Preview quality is purely based on the hardware quality in the creator computer. If the video
card or chipset is limited in speed or memory, or the processor and RAM have bandwidth
limitations, the preview video will stutter. Stuttering is usually just dropped video frames and
can also result from the type of display being used as well as the native resolution and refresh
frequencies. This is normal on preview—player hardware is specifically selected to play back at
full broadcast smooth frame rates. Preview should perform well enough though to present a very
good idea what the set will look like when finally played out from the MX.
Operational Note: If the preview window appears to not play motion videos (MPEG, AVI,
WMV, VOB, etc...) check the INI settings for the scheduler and ensure VIDEO=TRUE in
SETTINGS.INI (See Appendix B for details). Black screens or Static (noise) filled screens are
indications of improper motion video playback
The editor computer may require an updated CODEC. Codecs are small programs that
"decode" compressed video (such as MPEG) for playback. There are many Codecs available on
the internet (some free, some for a fee). Keywest Technology does make
recommendations...browse to the following link to download and install approved Codecs:

Special Instructions will be Included in Read Me Files if Applicable
Add MediaCreator Still Pages to Zones
Select Zone 1 and set the TYPE to PAGE.
MediaCreator is the professional Character Generator (CG) software module
included with MX systems. Content pages made by MediaCreator have the
extension ".PAG". For specific MediaCreator details see the
MediaCreator manual.
Choose a MediaCreator page to add. The directory browsers
should still be set to "C:\Program Files\MediaZone
Editor\Application\Media", and the file browser window is
probably still displaying the contents of that folder.
Choose "five2.PAG" to add to the selected Zone 1 column.
Double-Click the page name in the file browser.
