Segment Selection Examples
You can create a segment anywhere between the beginning and the end of a media file. The In Frame does not have to precede
the Out Frame.
To skip a segment in the center of a media file, set the In Frame to a point following the Out Frame. The file will play from the
In Frame to the end and then start at the beginning of the file and play to the Out Frame. When you create a segment in this way,
you may notice a jump as playback skips from the end of the file to the beginning.

Defining Playback
After selecting and defining a media file segment to display on a 3-D object, you can choose from several Playback Modes and
assign a Playback Speed.
2.1.5.1
Playback Mode
A Playback Mode parameter for each 3-D image allows several playback options.
Default DMX Value: 0 = Plays forward in a continuous loop

Scrubbing
Scrubbing displays the selected frame of the composite output of the media server. While scrubbing the In Frame, the frame
selected by the In Frame coarse and fine channels will be displayed. Likewise, scrubbing the Out Frame will display the frame
selected by the Out Frame coarse and fine channels. When the "with statistics" option is selected, the composite output includes
text data related to the selected frame. Remember that the In Frame and Out Frame parameters are defined as a DMX value
mapped to the percentage of the media file length, not a specific frame.
If the Global Control Mode parameter = 255, a DMX value of 1-3 for the Global Control parameter provides an
alternate font color to enhance statistics readability.
2.1.5.2
Playback Speed
The Playback Speed parameter controls the speed of the selected media file's Playback Mode. The Playback Speed for a media file
is used whenever the Playback Mode Parameter's DMX value is assigned to any Play Forward option.
Default DMX Value: 128 = Playback at normal speed.
A DMX value of 0 or 128 (50%) plays back media files at the original recorded speed. DMX values from 1 to 127 plays the media
file back at an increasing speed, from slowest to the original recorded speed. Values from 129-255 set playback speed from faster
than normal to fastest speed.
