MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL 41

Creating and Viewing Content Thumbnails

The MBOX Designer software will create thumbnail images of the content. To force the creation of new thumbnails in

MBOX Designer, press [ T].

Thumbnail images are stored in a standard location on every server and are grouped with HTML files that allow any

networked computer (Mac or PC) to use an HTML browser to view the thumbnails on the server. Individual thumbnails

can also be used by consoles connected to the server. The thumbnail files are located in folders on each server at

/Library/Application Support/Mbox

. The HTML pages can be browsed by entering

http://IP Address of remote server

in the address line of the browser application.

CAUTION! While thumbnails are being created, playback performance on the server may be severely affected.

Thumbnail creation time will depend on the amount of content in the

Media

and

Models

folders. While thumbnails are

being created, you will not be able to view them from either a browser or the MBOX Remote application.

Console Interface Example

Once patched to an automated lighting console, the MBOX server can be controlled using the console’s interface.

The following example shows the Media window offered by the PRG Vx76 series console. In this case, the window is

displaying thumbnails for the Texture library media files. Basic controls - such Play, Stop, Rewind, Loop, etc. - are

also available in the window.
