CHAPTER 15

Content Management Application (CMA)

Client Window Content Organization

The media server on each fixture has a

file system that holds the movies,Mac OS images, and 3-D objects that make up

the content that the server uses.

These files, folders, and their DMX values are collectively known as the “Content” on the media server.

The Client Management Window organizes and identifies content by source (preloaded Stock content or custom User content) and type (Media files or 3D Object files).

Windows OS

NOTE: Tree structure differs slightly on the two platform versions. In the Mac version, to access Server Configuration information for an individual server, select the Con- figuration option under the individual server. In Windows Explorer, config- uration information for the server is located directly by selecting the server.

Preloaded Stock Content

A large library of Stock Media and Stock Objects ships on every DL.3, DL.2 or Axon media server and will also be provided through upgrades from High End Systems.

Note: The DL.3 fixture ships with an additional 400+ files of media content, many in higher resolution.

This content is read only. You won’t be able to download, edit the DMX values or remove these files from the fixture.

Custom User Content

You can create your own custom User Media and User Objects content, and upload it to media servers. The Stock Content and User Content reside in separate folders. The High End Systems Digital Lighting Community (forums.highend.com) is a resource for tips and techniques on creating User Content. See Custom User Content on page 257 for basic considerations in developing your own content for Axon or Digital Light media servers.
