Enabling [Fixed loading time]
Even when the time of the projectors for simultaneous playback is synchronized, the loading time after starting playback till the image is
actually displayed on the projection screen will differ among the projectors, depending on the movie content registered in the schedule. If you
play back the schedule containing a movie content, it is recommended to enable [Fixed loading time] and fix the loading time (three seconds)
after starting playback till displaying the image.
