SETTING SERVER PREFERENCES
Setting Mbox Server Preferences Remotely
If you select a server or layer on the Remote main window and then press [ P],
the Mbox Server Preferences window will open. This window allows you to
remotely set the preferences of the server: Art-Net Universe, Number of Layers,
Alignment Rectangles.
To edit a setting, click inside the box that surrounds the name of the setting. The
preference will become active so that it can be edited. Note that text values will
require pressing [enter] to accept them.
Note: Some preferences require the Mbox application to be relaunched before
they take effect. These preferences are noted by the presence of two diamonds
after the pref's name.
Example: Setting Up Alignment Rectangles Using Remote
Certain preferences have more complex settings, such as the Alignment
Rectangles configuration. (Refer to
more information about them.)
To setup Alignment Rectangles on a server using Mbox Remote application:
Step 1. Using Remote, open Mbox Server Preferences window (for the desired
server).
Step 2. Click inside Alignment Rectangles box.
Step 3. At Alignment Rectangles edit window, press "+" button to add a rectangle or "-" to delete a rectangle. When
a rectangle is added, it will receive an index number (beginning with 0). You may have up to 256 rectangles
(0 - 255).
Step 4. Use Name field to enter a name for the rectangle.
Step 5. Use X, Y, W, and H fields to specify an origin (X, Y) and size (Width, Height) for the rectangle. Keep in mind
that the origin (0,0) of the Mbox display is the top-left corner.
