FOCUS Enhancements 3.2 Smooth Transitions, Smpte time codes are not recognized properly

Troubleshooting

Smooth Transitions

For smoother transitions, MPEG files in the same playlist should be encoded at the same resolution and size (height x width).

SMPTE time codes are not recognized properly

Some SMPTE tracks loose information during compression and may not "trigger" events as required. It is recommended to encode these tracks "hot"--adding approximately +6 db to the track while encoding. Again, testing is essential to account for variances in encoders and SMPTE devices involved. Note: Simple audio filters and or unbalanced to balanced transformers, used at the installation site, are also useful in eliminating "noise" and cleaning up the SMPTE signal.

Filename Already Exists

FTPing Font Files (.ttf)

When FTPing font files (.ttf) set FTP to binary files.

Insufficient Disk Space

A check for this condition will be performed after you confirm the intent to copy files, but before the actual copying begins. This check compares the total amount of space required to copy all selected files against the available disk space on the internal storage. A safety margin of 300 MB available disk space will have to remain after the copy for this test to pass.
