The Mode button, under the Play Control Panel Tab is used to specify how the cine file is to be

reviewed. Below are the steps to define the playback mode:

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE

Click the Play Control Panel Tab.

Click on the down-arrow to the right of the Cine: field, then

Select the cine file, from the pull-down list, to open it in its own Playback Panel.

Click on the Mode button, then

Select the desired mode, or modes, from the pull-down selection list, including:

Limit to Range

When selected, (checked), Limit to Range forces the playback controls to play only the images

between the Mark-In and Mark-Out entry points specified by the end-user.

Repeat

When selected, (checked), repeat will allow the cine file to be played in an endless loop. If the

Limit to Range command is also selected, (checked), the loop will be limited to the range

specified by the end-user during the edit cine process.

Ping Pong

Ping Pong instructs the software to play the selected cine file forward and then backward

repeatedly when enabled, (checked).

RESULT: The pull-down list will close. However, a check mark will be placed to the left of the selected

mode indicating that the selected playback mode has been enabled.

NOTE

The software allows for multiple playback modes to be selected at the same time.

Enable, (check), the Play Each Image command to instruct the Phantom Camera Control

application to display every frame, (image), in the cine file, and restrict the playback rate. Disable,

(uncheck) the Play Each Image command to instruct the Phantom Camera Control application to

allow faster playback speeds, which may require the playback of some images to be skipped

depending on the speed specified. You can use the vertical slider to set the playback speed.
