Scrub In Frame with statistics

Displays frame that has been defined by the In Frame parameter

with media file data overlaid on the output.

 

 

9

Scrub Out Frame with statistics

Displays frame that has been defined by the Out Frame

parameter with media file data overlaid on the output.

 

 

Scrubbing displays the selected frame of the composite output of the media server. While scrubbing the In Frame, the frame selected by the In Frame coarse and fine channels will be displayed. Likewise, scrubbing the Out Frame will display the frame selected by the Out Frame coarse and fine channels. When the “with statistics” option is selected, the composite output includes text data related to the selected frame. Remember that the In Frame and Out Frame parameters are defined as a DMX value mapped to the percentage of the media file length, not a specific frame.

Note: If the Global Control Mode parameter = 255, a DMX value of 1-3 for the Global Control parameter provides an alternate font color to enhance statistics readability.
