Media

Media is a WinScript Live resource that describes audio or video content for use by playback events within a sequence.

Media is displayed in a grid view.

Name

This is the name of the media as it will be found on the device. It does not have to match the optional local path.

Type

Video

A single video file such as those played by the A/V Binloop HD.

  • MPEG2 .mpg
  • MPEG-4/h.264 .mp4

Image Sequence

A series of image files such as those played by the BinloopX BX4KU and A/V Binloop Uncompressed (AVBU).

  • Digital Picture Exchange .dpx (BX4KU)
  • Targa .tga (AVBU)
  • AMT .amt (an AVBU advanced image format generated by Alcorn McBride's MediaFlow software)

Audio

A single audio file with support for 1 to 64 tracks/channels such as those played by the RidePlayer or BinloopX BX16A.

  • Wave PCM .wav

Frame Rate

Video files may specify a frame rate, which will be used to calculate start offset and end time within a timeline sequence.

Length

The length of the media at the specified frame rate.

If no frame rate is specified then the internal clock frame rate is used.

Tracks

Audio files may specify 1 to 64 tracks/channels per media file.

Local Path

An optional local path may be specified. This is populated automatically when the media is added from a local file, but may be changed manually at any time. WinScript Live will use this path when attempting to Send Media to a RidePlayer or BinloopX using the Connection Manager.

When media is added from a local file, the duration and number of tracks are filled automatically.
