This section of the player application allows you to control the motion of Video Play List files.
a)
File button – This button brings up a dialog box allowing you to select a Video Play List file. For a
description of Video Play List files refer to Appendix A.
b)
File name – This text box specifies the current Video Play List file and also lets you type a file name
directly.
c)
File position slider control – This is a slider control that lets you jump to any position within the Video
Play List file. It also has a progress bar that shows you where the Video Play List is positioned in relation
to the entire file.
d)
File position – This field shows you the time code of the current video frame.
e)
Total Flds – This field specifies the total number of frames in the Video Play List file.
f)
Slider position – This text box specifies what frame the slider now points to. It also lets you type a frame
number directly. The format is standard SMPTE time code format without colons. The colons have been
omitted to make it easier to enter time codes quickly.
