User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual User Login and Preferences You can create one or more users to run the application. A user named Default is used if no specific user is created.
User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual User Management The User Login dialog has the following functionality. New This creates a new user. The new user will start fresh with some basic minimal settings defined. alert! User names must be unique. Copy This operation will copy the selected user (e.g. our user Tom) to a new user we name (e.g. Alice). All the preference files for the selected user will be copied to the new user.
User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual The folders created are shown below. On a fresh install, only the Presets folder exists : Folders Used : ROOT/ |-- Presets | | | |-- System/ | |-- Users/ After user "Tom" is created and we run the application : ROOT/ | |-- System/ |-- Users/ | |-- AllUsers/ |-- Default/ |-- Tom/ note For more detail of folders and preference files created, see the appendix Preference Files. These folders are described below.
User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Users/ Preferences for users are stored in the Users folder : ROOT/ | |-- System/ |-- Users/ | |-- AllUsers/ |-- Default/ |-- Tom/ - settings inherited by all users - settings for user Default - settings for user Tom ● Each user created has a folder created here to store their individual preference settings (e.g. user Tom above) ● The Default user folder always exists but may be empty if this user is not used.
User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual A set of default system preference files are copied here from the Presets \ System folder on first run. note Preference files inside the System folder are not touched by an upgrade or install. note For more detail of folders and preference files created, see the appendix Preference Files. Preference Load Order Preference files are loaded in an order such that later ones (if they exist) will override earlier ones.
User Login and Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Using Preference Files As stated above, on first run, an initial set of user preference files is placed in the folder but these start as fragment preference files i.e. a basic minimal set of preferences only. As an example, the AllUsers general.prefs file (read before a general.prefs file) is complete but the general.prefs file may contain only 6 or 7 settings that override the AllUsers settings loaded.
Software Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Software Preferences The layout and organisation of the application preferences are discussed in the User Login and Preferences chapter. The main application preference file is called general.prefs and it is located inside the ROOT \ Users folder as : ● AllUsers \ general.prefs ● \ general.prefs The version may be a minimal number of settings while the AllUsers version might be complete.

D:\ D:\Nucoda\media\2009_0\thumb\ captureRootDir This specifies the folder to save VTR video capture sequences. The captured sequences are separated automatically into folders on a project basis.
Software Preferences note Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual The application will set the thread settings automatically when first installed (and no preference file exists). The optimal values for the thread settings are dependent on many factors and these settings are a guide only. For best performance on any particular workflow, you should undertake your own benchmarks.
Software Preferences Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Recommendations A 64 bit application can make use of a great deal of system memory and you can set Image Memory to a high value e.g. RAM - 4096 MB. This is your total RAM minus 4 GB for OS/system reserved use. Examples : System RAM (GB) IM-2014_1-1.
Colour Scaling Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Colour Scaling Each project includes a configuration option that defines the project colour scaling. Colour scaling modes affect : ● SDI Monitoring and whether this SDI signal is scaled or unscaled (untouched). ● Video I/O and whether the SDI signal is scaled or unscaled (untouched).
Colour Scaling Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual Definitions We use terms SMPTE and CGR and we define these as : SMPTE : CGR : Refers to the standard legal video signal 0-100% 10 bit Range : 64 - 940 Values can exist outside of the 64-940 range (super-blacks and whites) Refers to a Computer Generated Render mode 10 bit Range : 0 - 1023 Note that this is not a legal SDI video range Project Configuration Select the scaling mode to use on a per-project basis on the main project screen.
Colour Scaling Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual captured (0-1023) and output/monitored (0-1023) as is. Colour tools pivot around the SMPTE values 64 and 940. Linear (CGR) Scaled SDI The SDI signal is scaled on both capture and output (monitoring and I/O). On capture, we scale the 64-940 to 0-1023 and thus lose the any super blacks and whites. On layoff (and monitoring), we scale the 0-1023 back to 64-940. alert! Linear (CGR) mode will limit your output to SMPTE levels (e.g. 64-940).
Colour Scaling note IM-2014_1-1.0 Nucoda and Phoenix 2014 Install Manual You can modify the black, mid and white points of the scaling modes via the colourPivotPoints section of the general.prefs file.
