In each specific tab, the user can also divide the content (files) into five
categories (maximum). This is done by means of sections (designated 1 to 5).
The sections can be used to keep files in order, for specific activities.
The use of media requires two actions:
• the addition of a file to the bin;
• loading the medium into a virtual player.
For each file added to the Media Bin, an icon is automatically generated. This
enables the preview of the file content. Within a given tab, icons can be sorted
using drag and drop. For files with the alpha channel (with transparency), a
preview is displayed showing transparency against a background of a gray and
white grid.
To add a file to the bin, a tab (or a subtab within a tab) has to be selected. After that, either
click on the
add file button or double click on an empty space within the selected tab of
the bin, and a typical file browsing window will be opened.
Next to the add file button, there is a
from the bin. If the file being removed has already been loaded into a player, the user will be
prompted for confirmation. After the removal of a file (media), the preview for the
corresponding player shows a blue background.
Please note that no operations on files in the Media Bin change files on the hard disk. File
removal or file name changes only affect shortcuts to the files on the tabs. It is also possible to
add a file to the same tab or to different tabs multiple times. The user can also change the
names of files (shortcuts) by clicking the file name change button
button, and the same file can be used with different names.
To load the medium into a virtual player, double click on the file with the mouse. The medium
will be played (MEDIA1 or MEDIA2, STILL1 or STILL2, TEXT1 or TEXT2) and can be used directly
in a live program.
