KEY: X# = Output 1 = channel 1 2 = channel 2 1,2 = both channels
X4& = Frame count Number of frames (total or current position)
X* = Frame count for view duration (timecode) command nn:nn:nn:nn (“hour”:”minute”:”second”:”frame”)
X4* = Percentage Current position in a playing clip expressed as a percentage
X^ = Play speed Speed at which to play video, where: 1.0 is normal speed, 2.0 is 2x normal speed, and so on
A positive value (+) is forward video (+ is assumed if no direction is specified)
A negative value (–) is reverse video
Fractional speeds are rounded up or down to the 3rd decimal place (0.000)
X! = Folder name Name of a DCP folder (such as “720p_422_60_donkey“)
X@ = Clip name Name of a clip file (such as “rafting_720p_5994.cpl.xml“)
X$ =Playlist name Name of a playlist file (such as “Canyon documentary.espl.xml”)
X1# = On/off (audio mute, loop, input trigger) 0 = off 1 = on
X4^ = Player state “playing“, “paused”, or “stopped”
X^ = Play speed Speed at which to play video, where: 1.0 is normal speed, 2.0 is 2x normal speed, and so on
A positive value (+) is forward video (+ is assumed if no direction is specified)
A negative value (–) is reverse video
Fractional speeds are rounded up or down to the 3rd decimal place (0.000)
