Startup Playlist
The MS9400 control software is programmed to look for a “Startup” playlist. If one has been generated the
playlist will begin running automatically anytime the MS9400 is turned on.
To generate a Startup playlist
1.
Using any text editor on your PC, open a new text file called
startup.lst
(All text in this file is case
sensitive).
2.
Enter the sequence for each MPEG file to be contained in the list:
MediaPath
(enter/return)
MediaFileName
(enter/return)
Inpoint
<sp>
Outpoint
(enter/return). Inpoint and Outpoint are set as ‘0’ and ‘-1’ respectively; if any
other settings are required consult Electrosonic.
As an example (using fictional video file names) the startup playlist could be written:
/media
panorama.mpg
0 -1
/media
tinaturns.mpg
0 -1
/media
sunspots.mpg
0 -1
3.
Using your FTP application (refer to the previous chapter) up-load the Startup file (startup.lst) to the
/media
folder on the MS9400
The Startup playlist will search for the files on the MS9400 and play them in the order defined in the list.
