2.1.3.3 Media File
The
Media File
parameter lets you identify which Stock or User media file to apply (map) as a texture on the selected 3-D object.
You can supplement the large library of Stock video loops and still images with Custom files. This parameter selects media files
from within the folder defined by the
Media Folder
parameter.
For a reference of media files available as stock content with your media server, go to the link for the Stock Content Guide for
digital lighting products on http://www.highend.com/support/digital_lighting/.
Default DMX Value:
0 = No file selected
2.1.4 Defining a Media File Segment
You can define any portion of a video media file to play using the
In Frame
and
Out Frame
parameters. By default, the In Frame is
the beginning of the media file and the Out Frame is the end of the file. Media files can have different lengths.
2.1.4.1 In Frame and Out Frame Parameters
You can select any segment of a media file for playback by assigning an In Frame value as a start point and an Out Frame as an
end point.
Assigning the In Frame and Out Frame parameters to default DMX values will playback the entire movie file.
Choosing other settings is useful when you want to:
• Begin or end a media file at any point other than the default
• Start or stop on a specific image
• You need to shorten the media file to a specific length
In Frame Default DMX Value:
0 = The beginning of a media file is the playback start point.
Out Frame Default DMX Value:
65535 = The end of a media file is the playback endpoint.
As you move from 0 to 100% of the
In Frame
value range, you can select the beginning of a media file segment as a percentage
of the file length. Moving from 0 to 100% of the
Out Frame
value range selects the end of a media file segment as a percentage
of the file length.

You can preview a visual display of the media files loaded on the media server in the Content Management
Application’s thumbnails view, (see Viewing Content on page 102).
Media that is not properly encoded may still play, but may have issues when using In-Frame and Out-Frame
parameters.
DMX parameter values for these parameters do not correspond to a particular “frame”. They are defined as a
percentage of the movie length. This makes it possible to create segments with an Out Frame preceding the In
Frame and simplifies playback synchronization between media files.
