The MDC-Launcher offers the following options:
•
1.0 Select a MDC Project:
Here you can select and start an existing MDC project. The base-path is /home/mdcuser/Documents/. Please
place all your projects only into this directory, otherwise they wont show up in MDC-Touch or on other parts of
the MDC-X system.
•
1.1 Select a MDC Template:
MDC Templates are the same as MDC projects but they are placed into /home/mdcuser/Templates/. Placing
projects into this folder gives you the possibility to organise you work better.
•
1.2 Start plain MDC
This start the MDC programm without any preconfigurations as DMX or Outputs.
•
1.3 Pack&Go MDC Project:
Any project you select here will be re-organised and re-packed so it can be sent to other systems. This is mainly
for debugging of projects.
•
2.0 Create Automatisation Job:
Automatisation Jobs are scripts which control a MDC project over OSC. When you select a MDC project an
Automatisation Job “Template” (suffix .mdc_auto_template) will be created. Inside of this template you will find all
various informations extracted from the project so you can start editing your Automatisation Job (see Button 2.1)
•
2.1 Edit Automatisation Job:
Here you can select Automatisation Job files and Automatision Job Templates. The file you choose will be opened
in a text editor. Whenever you open an Automatisation Job Template (suffix .mdc_auto_template) please rename
it to a new filename with the suffix “.mdc_auto”; otherwise you will not be able to debug/run the job and/or will
overwrite you edit when you recreate a template!
•
2.2 Debug Automatisation Job
During editing an Automatisation Job there comes the time when you want to see what the script does. Here you
can open a script and see the OSC calls that are sent to the current MDC project that is running. Please note that
your MDC project must have a valid OSC (remote control) setup file installed in order to make this possible. If you
started your project using the MDC template generator (3.5 Generate MDC Template) or started the project using
MDC-Touch then the project will have such an OSC setup file installed.
•
2.3 Stop All MDC/Auto Jobs
This will instantly terminate all Automatisation and MDC Jobs without asking for saving!
•
3.0 START DEMONSTRATION
