A service login provides two additional Status menus—Server, Diag and
Interrogator —for testing certain server functions and communications, or for
advanced projector diagnostics.
The Status: Server 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.
TEST SUBTITLING FILE (.xml):
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.
TEST METADATA (.xml):
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.
Enable the Subtitling button to test an .xml file
