Playback Manage...
The Playback Manage menu page is where the BlackBox Player can be
configured and where specific Playlists can be loaded and reviewed. After
enabling Playback Mode (see below) the
Playback Manager Screen will look like this.
Select Playlist allows the selection of any
valid Playlist residing in the root folder of the
drive. Once selected, you will be advised of
any errors or discrepancies and then the
BlackBox Player will automatically enter the View Playlist mode so that you
can see where the errors lie. The Backup Armed and Backup Take Over
options are disabled unless you designate this machine to be the backup
machine in a pair of matched failover players.
Playback Config...
The first option under Playback Config is
Enable Playback Mode
. All other
operational aspects of the Player are determined by this selector, without
which, the machine will work as a BlackBox Recorder.
Repeat Playlist
is used when the unit is not
being required to sync play to timecode or
the real-time clock. It causes the Player to
loop from the end of the playlist back to the
start.
Cue next on stop in song
is likewise
normally used without sync. When the unit is set to replay synchronously,
the song that will be replayed next is determined by the incoming LTC or
internal real-time clock rather than any actual sequence detailed in the
playlist.
