STUDIO USER MANUAL

Setup

The Setup tab of the Mbox application window is used to:

+

Set the operating mode and Art-Net universe for the Mbox server.

+

Set the application to start in either Window or Fullscreen mode. For Window mode, the window size can be set.
For Fullscreen mode, the resolution can be set.

+

Input License Key to authorize the application.

+

Set a width and height for Textures.

+

Set the network port for CITP communications between Mbox and Mbox Remote and/or any lighting console or
visualizer that supports CITP and MSEX. (Refer to

"Mbox Daemon"

on page 160 for more information about using

this setting with the Mbox Remote application.)

+

Configure video inputs.

+

Verify the configuration of the connected I/O module output sections.

+

Enable or disable Diagnostics, Deinterlace, Pixel-mapping, and Audio Playback.

Refer to the following pages for in-depth explanations about each of these settings.

Note: The settings configured at this window are stored in a standard Mac Property List (.plist) format. This file,
located at

/Mbox/MboxSettings.plist

, stores the startup settings for the Mbox software and the variables that define

its operating parameters: window size, screen size, etc. The most important of these settings can be adjusted from
the Setup tab, however, some advanced settings can only be adjusted using Mbox Remote. Refer to

"Mbox Remote

Application"

on page 159 for more information.
