Launching Mbox

When launched, the Mbox 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 either Window or Fullscreen mode. In Fullscreen mode, if no control signal is being received the output screen may
be black. This is normal and Fullscreen mode can be exited at any time by using a keyboard shortcut (see below).
While in Window mode, the main application window and all configured output windows will be shown. While in
Fullscreen mode, the main application window may continue to be visible if it has been placed onto a display that hasn't
been assigned to an output. Individual output windows are not visible in Fullscreen mode as they automatically expand
to cover the display they are assigned to when Fullscreen mode is used.
The main window contains four tabs: Patch, Preferences, Outputs, and Mixes as shown in this sample screen below:
Upon launch, the Patch tab will be selected. This tab shows the server's mode, layer, and output configurations, plus
its control protocol and universe. The Patch tab is used to configure control for the software and to view live parameter
values. Refer to
"Application Windows"
tabs in the application.
