Creating and Viewing Content Thumbnails
The Mbox Mini software can create thumbnail images of content placed on the hard-drive. To force an update of
thumbnails by Mbox Mini, press [
 T].
Thumbnail images are stored in a standard location on every server and are grouped with HTML files that allow any
networked computer (Mac or PC) to use an HTML browser to view the thumbnails. Individual thumbnails can also be
used by consoles connected to the server. The thumbnail files are located in folders on each server at
/Library/
Application Support/Mbox . The HTML pages can be browsed by entering http://IP Address of remote server in the
address line of the browser.
CAUTION! While thumbnails are being created, playback performance on the server may be severely affected.
Thumbnail creation time will depend on the amount of content in the Media and Models folders. While thumbnails are
being created, you will not be able to view them from either a browser or the Mbox Remote application.
Console Interface
Once patched to an automated lighting console, Mbox can be controlled using the console’s interface. The following
example shows the Media window offered by the PRG Vx76 series console. In this case, the window is displaying
thumbnails for the Texture library media files. Basic controls - such Play, Stop, Rewind, Loop, etc. - are also available
in the window.
