3. Operation This chapter provides an overview of the Mbox Extreme Media Server Environment, along with instructions for setup and operation of the Mbox Extreme application window. • Mbox Extreme Environment • Application Window 0 2 . 9 80 0 .
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Mbox Extreme Environment Concept Overview In order to get the most out the Mbox Extreme Media Server, it is important to understand the overall concept of the Mbox Extreme Environment, which is essentially a building platform for "virtual scenery." The final "look" of this virtual scenery can be comprised of backgrounds, 3D objects, camera angles, and lighting, all of which are controllable elements within the Mbox Extreme Environment.
OPERATION : MBOX EXTREME ENVIRONMENT 3 The following illustration is a virtual representation of each element within the Mbox Extreme Environment. (More detailed descriptions of each element are provided on subsequent pages.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Layers The Mbox Extreme 3D Environment provides up to five different layers that can be used as Backgrounds or 3D Objects. You can use any combination of Backgrounds or 3D Objects up to five total. For example, you can create two Backgrounds and three 3D Objects or one Background and four 3D Objects. Layer Components Due to the complexity of the 3D Object manipulation, all layers are comprised of two components: a Texture (30 channels) and Object (23 channels).
OPERATION : MBOX EXTREME ENVIRONMENT 3 Backgrounds The Mbox Extreme 3D Environment provides up to five Background elements. Parameters such as transparency level, color, texture, scale, and rotation can be configured for each, independently, to create a backdrop for your virtual scenery.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Textures The Mbox Extreme Environment includes the ability to apply textures to the Backgrounds and/or 3D Objects. These Textures can be derived from still images or video clips, which are stored in the Mbox Extreme digital media library. Digital media is located on the Mbox Extreme Media Servers within file folders. These folders are referred to as "Libraries," while the actual media files are referred to as "Textures.
OPERATION : MBOX EXTREME ENVIRONMENT 3 Play Modes Play modes can be used to create both In/Out and Random/Stop frames for media playback. Refer to “Play Modes” on page 60 for Play mode DMX512 mappings. In and Out Frame The In and Out Frame feature provides a method for setting a start and stop frame for a video clip in order to loop between two points. Like the Effects and Transitions feature, the In/Out frame can be applied to Background or Object textures.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 3D Objects The Mbox Extreme Environment includes up to five 3D Objects. Parameters such as shape, transparency level, texture, color and scale can be configured for each, independently, to create dynamic or stationary objects within your virtual scenery. These Objects - unlike the Backgrounds can interact in a 3-dimensional space, which means that there is no set order to their appearance.
OPERATION : MBOX EXTREME ENVIRONMENT 3 Step 5. Set Shape Library channel to a value between 000-255. This determines the folder for the model. Step 6. Set Shape channel to a value between 000-255. This determines the file for the model. Step 7. Adjust desired parameters for the Texture as desired. Note: Some control parameters for 3D models are located in the Texture channels. Applying a Texture to a 3D Object using DMX512 control: Step 1. Use 3D object created in previous section. Step 2.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Camera The Mbox Extreme Environment includes one Camera element. This element performs two main functions: • Master Intensity control of Mbox Extreme I/O Module. Note: The Camera Intensity channel must be greater than 0 to view any output from the Mbox Extreme I/O Module. • Modifies the viewpoint of the 3D Objects and Backgrounds.
OPERATION : MBOX EXTREME ENVIRONMENT 3 Shutter Shutter parameters offer the ability to shape a layer. Shutters can be positioned, scaled, and rotated. To activate the Shutter, the Shutter Shape channel must be set to a value other than the default. Shutter have the following controllable elements: • Shutter Shapes • Shutter X • Shutter Y • Shutter Color • Shutter Scale • Shutter Edge • Shutter Rotation For more information, see “Shutter” on page 51 and “Shutter Shapes” on page 59.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Application Window Overview The Mbox Extreme Media Server contains the Mbox Extreme software application. The Mbox Extreme application window allows you to view the Mbox Extreme Media Server output in either window or full screen mode on the local monitor. The application window contains two screens: • Mbox Output window. • Setup window. The Setup window is used to: • Set DMX512 or Art-Net address for this media server.
OPERATION : APPLICATION WINDOW 3 Starting the Mbox Extreme Application The Mbox Extreme application will start automatically when the computer is turned on. If the application does not start automatically, locate the Mbox Extreme icon on the Apple Dock and click once. When starting the application, the default is to preload all 3D models. While 3D models are loading, the computer will be locked and the Mbox Extreme application window appears with a blue screen and progress bar (Figure 3-4).
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Setup Window The Setup window allows you to configure parameters for the individual Mbox Extreme Media Server. This Setup window only appears when viewing the Mbox Extreme application in window mode. To open the Setup window: Step 1. Start the Mbox Extreme application. For more information, see “Starting the Mbox Extreme Application” on page 35. Step 2. At top of application window, press Setup button.
OPERATION : APPLICATION WINDOW 3 Changing the Application Window Size The Mbox Extreme application window opens in either window or full-screen mode depending on the settings specified in the Setup window. Set “Setup Window” on page 36. To change window size: • Press b / [F] to toggle between full-screen and window mode. Closing the Application To close and quit the Mbox Extreme application, press the Mbox Extreme menu.

4. Media Content This chapter provides instructions for managing media files which reside on the Mbox Extreme Media Server and for adding your own custom content. • Content Type • Content Management 0 2 . 9 80 0 .
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL Content Type Images and Video Clips The Mbox Extreme Media Server supports Apple ® QuickTime® technology for rendering and playback of images and video files.
MEDIA CONTENT : CONTENT MANAGEMENT 4 Content Management Overview The Mbox Extreme Media Server offers a flexible media folder structure. Media can reside locally on the Mbox Extreme server hardrive or on additional hardrives or storage devices connected to the Macintosh® G5 computer. At startup, the Mbox Extreme application performs a media scan to search all folders that reside within the /Mbox/Media folder that resides on the main hardrive of the Mbox Extreme Media Server.
MBOX EXTREME™ MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL The Mbox Extreme Media Server also supports 16-bit file numbers. When a file contains a 16-bit number, the folder number is the upper 8 bits of the 16-bit number. The folder number of any parent folders is ignored. Note: When using 16-bit file numbers, the file number does not get updated when moved to another folder.
MEDIA CONTENT : CONTENT MANAGEMENT 4 Adding Video and Image Files Note: You must rescan the media folders or restart the Mbox Extreme application any time you add content to the Mbox Extreme Media Server. To rescan the media, use the Rescan Media Library Control Channel on the Camera Fixture. For more information, see “Control Channels” on page 59. To add video and/or image files: Step 1. Open /Mbox/Media folder located on the main hardrive. Step 2.
