MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 43
Setup
The Setup tab of the MBOX Designer 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 Designer and MBOX Remote and/or any lighting
console or visualizer that supports CITP and MSEX. (Refer to
"MBOX Daemon" on page 134 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 Designer 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 133 for more information.
Sets Options:
+ Diagnostics (it is recommended that this
option be checked during show conditions)
+ Pixel Map Enable/Disable
+ AIFF Playback Enable/Disable (requires
restart to take effect)
