Chapter 11 Media Players
AV-HLC100 includes two internal
Media Players
, referred to as CLIP and STILL
players.
These names of these players
gives you an idea what different media types they are designed for:
•
The
CLIP
player is designed to
display video clips – including long format ‘movies’. It can also
play audio files.
•
The
STILL
player
is provided to show image files such as photos, graphics, etc.
Note: The video and audio file formats supported by the Media Players are extended by installing the
optional NewTek Streaming for AV-HLC100 plugin.
Section 11.1 Playlists
The content of AV-HLC100’s internal
Media Players
is organized in a storyboard-style playlist, shown in
a tab in its
Input Configuration panel
(Figure 61).
Hint: As a reminder, open this panel by clicking the gear that is shown when you move the mouse
over the CLIP or STILL viewport in the monitoring section of the Live Desktop.
The play position for the CLIP player is
automatically set to the first frame
when a clip is
newly selected.
Double-clicking a thumbnail (or clicking the
Play
button) begins playback from the
In Point
of the
current file. Double-clicking elsewhere in the
playlist pane opens the Media Browser (hold down
shift when clicking to open a system file explorer
instead of the custom Media Browser).
During playback, the footer of playlist items
illuminates in blue as each is played in turn. When
necessary, the playlist pane scrolls to display the
icon for the currently playing item. A progress bar
is displayed in the label beneath the currently
playing thumbnail.
Hint: During playback, selection status is independent of the clip playing. Selected items have a white
border in the Playlist pane.
