Qube Server - Master Image HORIZON3D Installation & Operation Instructions

12.1.2.

Qube Server

To create automation macros for the HORIZON3D in the Qube server it is necessary to
edit two XML files within the server's configuration.
The files in question are located in the path C:/Program Files/Qube Cinema/XP and are
named automationdevices.xml and automationcues.xml
Within the same path it is necessary to load a new file named MasterImage.xml
1. First create a link between the server and the HORIZON3D within the
automationdevices.xml file. Below you will see the structure of this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Devices xmlns="http://schemas.qubecinema.com/Automation/Devices/2008-01-26">
<Device name="Device
<Configuration>
<Key name="File"
<Key name="Address"
<Key name="Port"
</Configuration>
</Device>
</Devices>
2. Complete the red
"Device
Name"
"Device
Class"
"file name of the
"address
value"
"port
value"
It is recommended that Notepad++ or a similar program is used for xml file editing.
The automationdevices.xml file is a shared file for all devices that the server can control
via automation cues thus it will contain information for devices such as DLP Projector,
Sound System and Lighting Control etc. For this reason the file cannot be replaced and
must be modified with the lines added as above for the HORIZON3D.
Next it is necessary to create and load onto the server the MasterImage.xml file. This file
defines and names the commands and text that will be sent to the HORIZON3D.
3. Edit this file so that it contains the information below:
