Changing Configuration / Using Dual Output Features - PRG MBOX DIRECTOR User Manual

Changing Configuration / Using Dual Output Features

The Mbox software can use either one or two video outputs. The default DMX Profiles (Designer, Studio, or Mini) only
use one of these outputs (Single Output mode). Dual output modes can be enabled by choosing one of the dual DMX
Profile options:
+
Panoramic Wide - one master, maximum twelve layers.
+
Panoramic Dual - one master with two shutters and two keystones, maximum twelve layers.
+
Dual Independent - two masters with up to six layers each.
The output mode is configured at the Mbox server's Setup window. This configuration is "pulled into" Mbox Director
when a fixture is added (patched).

If any part of the DMX Profile is changed at the Mbox server Setup window, the Change Configuration feature
provides a way to update the settings in Director. For example, if the DMX Profile is changed from Single Output
Mode to Panoramic Dual, this conflict will be noted in Director's main window by displaying "profile mismatch" in the
fixture icon box as shown below. When this occurs, the Mbox system will no longer function correctly. To correct this,
use the Change Configuration window (refer to the steps on the following page).
