Mysql Interface - Strand Lighting NEO User Manual

User's Manual
• Winamp timecode - Winamp is a popular free media player that is capable of playing video and audio files. NEO
can read timecode directly from this software when running on the same PC.
• Adrienne Timecode - The Adrienne devices are a collection of internal and USB devices that support a number of
timecode formats. For more information visit http://www.adrielec.com
• Internal Timecode - LightFactory can also read its own internal timecode produced by the media playback
effects.
• Generate Internal Timecode - This option will start the internal timecode generator. As soon as this option is
checked you will see the timecode clock start counting.
If you are using the internal timecode generator you can optionally set a shortcut to reset the clock back to
00:00:00:00.
To add a new timecode trigger, click on the "Add" button and edit the fields provided. To remove any trigger, select
the event from the list and click on the "Remove" button.
Description - This provides a way to identify the trigger by entering a description for your reference.
Timecode - Set the time code in the format HH:MM:SS:FF that will trigger the shortcut. The shortcut will only
trigger once when the time is reached.
Shortcut - This field is used to specify which shortcut number you want this trigger to execute.
Command - To execute any other system command simply type the command into this field.
Global Offset - If the timecode being received does not start at zero you can apply a global offset. The offset will be
added to the incoming timecode value at every frame. Use negative values to remove time from the incoming values.
Reset all events if the previous timecode is greater than the current - When this option is turned on all events will
be flagged as "waiting to fire" if the timecode loops or the previous timecode received is greater than the latest
timecode received.
Import / Export - To help manage a large number of timecode events you can import this information from a coma
separated text file (csv). Click on each of these buttons to open a standard windows file dialog to select the file you
want to import or export. When choosing the import option a dialog will pop up asking you if you want to remove
existing entries before importing the new data.
