Section 3: Operation

Status: Test Menu

The Status: Test menu provides controls for testing or confirming subtitling and/or metadata commands
supplied with presentation content from the site's controlling cinema server. The relevant .xml files-one for
subtitling, one for metadata-can be searched and examined for errors in content or in transmission from the
server. Reported errors can then help point to potential problems with the server, the .xml file, or the
communication link to the projector. Note that controls in the Server menu do not activate or turn OFF
metadata or subtitling. Controls are diagnostic tools only.
To verify the subtitling/meta-file of a movie, first begin playing the movie then access the Status: Test menu.
The Meta File URI and Subtitling URI (XML files) will display in their respective fields, if the files exist for
that content.
Displays the URI of the
Meta File (XML) for the
current digital content, if
one exists for that con-
tent.
Displays the URI of the
Subtitling URI (XML) for
the current digital con-
tent, if one exist for that
content.
TEST METADATA (.xml):
Enable the Meta File button to test a supplied .xml file required for auto-configuring display parameters such
as colors, aspect ratio, watermarks, etc., in certain distributed content. Such metadata—a.k.a. "data about
data"—is embedded in the video stream content and should be modified only by the distributor, but the test
may result in errors pointing to problems in metadata content or its transmission from the server.
TEST SUBTITLING FILE (.xml)
Enable the Subtitling button to test an .xml file supplied with content for control of performance parameters
such as synchronization with content, language, font type, font color, position, etc., in the current presentation.
Define the desired URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)—i.e., cinema server or distributor—providing the
subtitling .xml file you wish to examine, then select Enable to begin the test. Any errors encountered in file
content or transmission from the server (for example, a lost file, a server crash, loss of communication with the
server, etc.) will appear in the window, and the Enable checkbox will clear.
