Modifying the Binloop Configuration
There are a few important things that need to happen before the
Binloop can automatically play video on power-up. First, we
need to configure the Binloop’s SMPTE timecode interface to
automatically generate timecode when the unit powers on. Next,
we have to create a timecode trigger that will instruct the Binloop
channels (Reproducers) to begin playing a video.
The idea is that the SMPTE clock will begin running on power
up. When this clock reaches a certain value, a trigger will
instruct the Binloop reproducers to play a video. When the video
is finished, the SMPTE clock will loop back to its starting value
and cause this process to repeat indefinitely.
Unit Configuration
Let’s begin by configuring some of the basic Binloop settings. In
the Binloop software, navigate to the Unit Configuration screen.
To do this, select Binloop

Settings

Unit... from the
application menu or by click on the icon in the menu bar.
For the sake of this example, the majority of these settings are
not important. Just make sure that the number of reproducer
slots is configured for 16, and that the Standard controller card
is selected. Once you have verified these settings, click OK to
exit this screen.
