RODUCTION MODE
While Xplay is the Vertigo Suite’s full featured playout application, you can use Xstudio’s
Production mode to preview the playout of a project’s scene on the device that is actively
connected to Xstudio.
Unlike the Xstudio’s Preview mode, which provides a static preview of the scene’s “look”
(see
page 5-8 ), Production mode previews the scene’s actual playout. Therefore, you can
preview the scene’s transitions, scene animations, and content. If the scene is associated
with a template, you can use the template’s editable fields to edit the scene’s content (e.g.
change text in text boxes and/or make new selections from drop-down lists) and then
preview the new content. If the scene is associated with a panel, you can operate a control
panel to determine the scene’s content and playout behavior.
The following sections describe how to preview the playout of the various project types
using Xstudio’s Production mode:
•
“Playing out a scene associated with a template or page” on page 12-2
• “Playing out a scene controlled by a control panel” on page 12-3
• “Playing out a standalone scene” on page 12-4
