number on another Mbox server

33-96 Streams 33-96
All versions of Mbox can listen to 96 streams, but cannot
output above their limit. See note below.
Note: Depending on the product version (Designer/Studio/Mini) there are limits placed on the number of sync stream
outputs. This table represents the full list of available streams for Mbox Designer. Studio has 16 sync stream, and Mini
has 8. Therefore, valid Sync Stream output values will be limited to those maximums for each, but all versions can
receive up to 96 streams.
Aspect Control
Value Mode
0 Square pixels (default)
1-126 Ratios scaling from 1:4 to 1:1
127 1:1 ratio

Frame Blending Control
A value of 0 = no frame blending (or more accurately, blend time = 0). The range of 1 - 255 = variable frame blend time,
as a proportion of the normal frame time. This is a square-law control, and 50% blend time is achieved at DMX 210, 25%
blend time at DMX 165.
