The X-Agora Designer User Guide - Barco XHD-404 User Manual

Section 4: Software
Media pane: X-Agora supports various types of video, image, sound, and real-time
media formats (such as live inputs and dynamic text). See Supported 3D, audio, image,
and video formats (p.255). The Media pane allows you to import, preview, and refresh
media.
Timelines: The Timelines pane contains all the Timelines and Timeline Groups in a
given scene. Do not confuse the Timelines pane with the Timeline pane, in which you
assemble media assets to compose a show or multimedia installation.
Actions pane: Actions give you real-time tools to go beyond basic video and sound
playback. They make it possible to add real-time visual effects to your Timelines, control
external systems such as Art-Net lighting fixtures, and move 3D objects in the scene.
3D objects pane: The 3D objects pane provides a list of all the 3D objects in a scene. It
also allows you to select them individually in order to highlight them in the Viewport
and expose their parameters in the Properties pane.
Timeline pane: The Timeline pane displays the layered content of one timeline. Do not
confuse the Timeline pane with the Timelines pane, which contains all the Timelines
and Timeline Groups in a given scene. Use the Timeline pane to compose the show or
multimedia installation by assembling media assets in time. Create as many Timelines
as you want, and add video, image, sound, or real-time graphics in layers.
Properties pane: The Properties pane gives access to all user-editable elements. To access
the properties of any user-interface element, click on the element to open its Properties
pane.
Inputs: The Inputs pane allows you to create open sound control (OSC), tangible user
interface object (TUIO), and digital multiplex (DMX) inputs that can then be used to
control real-time media elements in your project.
Viewport: The Viewport pane provides up to four distinct views of the 3D scene in order
to facilitate viewing and moving 3D objects and displays. Click on the Views Template
button, in the top right-hand corner of the Viewport pane, to change the number and
layout of views.
Presets pane: Use presets to store and restore different property values at runtime. The
two families of presets are position presets and calibration presets.
