Crossfade On Out-Frame; Timecode Sync; Layer Sync; Kiosk - PRG MBOX User Manual

Crossfade on Out-Frame

Forward Loop - Movie will play forwards from In-Frame to Out-Frame, looping on the Out-Frame. If the layer has a
crossfade time greater than 0 assigned to it, the movie will crossfade (using the layer's crossfade type) to the In-Frame.
Because the Out-Frame triggers the crossfade, to ensure a pause-free crossfade the Out-Frame should be moved
(towards the beginning of the movie) by at least the same amount of time as the crossfade time.
Reverse Loop - Movie will play backwards from Out-Frame to In-Frame, looping on the In-Frame. If the layer has a
crossfade time greater than 0 assigned to it, the movie will crossfade (using the layer's crossfade type) to the Out-Frame.
Because the In-Frame triggers the crossfade, to ensure a pause-free crossfade the In-Frame should be moved (towards
the end of the movie) by at least the same amount of time as the crossfade time.

Timecode Sync

Strict Lock - Used with a timecode (LTC or MTC) input. Movie playback waits on In-Frame for matching timecode value,
at which point playback is locked to timecode. If timecode stops, the playback stops. If timecode jumps (forward or
backwards) playback will jump accordingly.
Sync then Freewheel - Used with a timecode (LTC or MTC) input. Movie playback waits on In-Frame for matching
timecode value, at which point playback is started but ignores timecode (freewheels) until the movie or playmode is
changed on the layer.
Jam Sync - Used with a timecode (LTC or MTC) input. Movie playback waits on In-Frame for matching timecode value.
If timecode continues playback is locked to timecode. If timecode goes away, playback continues (freewheels). If
timecode returns, the playhead will jump to the point of the movie matching that timecode.

Layer Sync

Slave - Used with one of the Layer Sync Master modes on another layer/server. A Slave layer pauses on its In-Frame
and listens for sync signals on its selected Sync Stream. If sync is received, the layer plays the same relative frame as
the Master, and at the same speed.
Master Forward Loop - Used with the Layer Sync Slave mode on another layer/server. A Master Forward Loop layer
plays between In and Out-Frames, loops at the Out-Frame, and transmits a sync signal on the selected Sync Stream.
Master Forward Once - Used with the Layer Sync Slave mode on another layer/server. A Master Forward Loop layer
plays between In and Out-Frames, pauses at the Out-Frame, and transmits a sync signal on the selected Sync Stream.

Kiosk

Non-Looping, Pause on Last Frame of Last File - Playback between In and Out-Frame begins with the initially-selected
file in a folder, automatic sequential transitions (using layer's transition type and time) happen until the Out-Frame of the
last movie in the folder is reached. At which point the movie will pause on the Out-Frame until the movie or playmode is
changed.
Non-Looping, Loop Last File - Playback between In and Out-Frame begins with the initially-selected file in a folder,
automatic sequential transitions (using layer's transition type and time) happen until the Out-Frame of the last movie in
the folder is reached. At which point the movie will loop back to its In-Frame continuously until the movie or playmode is
changed.
Non-Looping, Fade Out Last File - Playback between In and Out-Frame begins with the initially-selected file in a folder,
automatic sequential transitions (using layer's transition type and time) happen until the Out-Frame of the last movie in
the folder is reached. At which point the movie will fade to transparent on the Out-Frame, remaining invisible until the
movie or playmode is changed.
