HD Pro Playback
Playback Applications
Supplied with the CineView HD Pro is a convenient sample playback application,
CineViewClient
, from which MPEG files can be set up and viewed. It allows you
to control most of the available functions of the CineView HD Pro decoder.
And a convenient new sample application,
PlaylistClient
, allows for playlist
development in a simplified form without having to open the PlayAdvantage
playback application.
NOTE:
Sample applications such as these are included for development purposes only
and, as shipped, are not designed or certified as production applications.
Another included application is the PlayAdvantage™ Lite module from Vela’s
new multi-functional MediaAdvantage
®
Lite user software. For more information
on the module, refer to its overview on page 34.
