Media tab

The Media tab lists all media available on the project folder and subfolders.

NB: Refer to the Media Creation page for codec and format specifications.

• Media can be either in sub-folders or in the base folder of your project.
• The non-compressed server versions can handle uncompressed TGA and DPX still images sequence:
  The TGA numbered image sequence should be in a folder with the .tga extension. You can setup the framerate using the option button in the relevant line.
  The DPX numbered image sequence should be in a folder with the .dpxextension. You can setup the framerate using the option button in the relevant line.

Supported file formats:
Video: MPEG2, H264 (.mov container), HAP, HAP Alpha, HAP Q, Apple ProRes, GoPro Cineform
Image: PNG, JPEG, TIFF
Audio: WAV, AIFF, sound multiplexed with MPEG2 or H264

For more information about size and performance of H264 vs Apple ProRes vs HAP, visit this page.
Relevant information is displayed for each medium: Size, date, resolution, framerate, bitrate, etc.

• You can sort/filter media by name, date, and size, using the toolbar.
  You can also search for a specific medium by using filters like type (movies, picture, audio, live), extension format or a piece of the file’s name.
  Click on the star to bookmark Media in a list of Favorites. Then you can select the star on the filtering tool to refine the search to favorite media only.
  You can add a color to your media to locate them easily in the list.

After operating a media transfer, click on “Refresh” to update the media list.

*Version 5 new important feature:
The refresh of the media is now done in the background and won’t lock the playback anymore.
If a medium is not available on the disk anymore, it will stay but in red color.
If you copy the missing medium on the right folder, you can then click Refresh and the medium will be back. You will not loose the link in layers.
If you decide to remove media and want to remove them from the list, click on the Sweep button to remove missing media from the list.

With this button on the top right corner, add other media such as:
• Deltacast capture card (Automatic detection and configuration)
• Counters e.g. used for onstage monitoring
• Playlist TC: Allows you to display the timecode of a playlist for rehearsal
• Text: Still, scrolling, alternate
• Solid: Add a solid color rectangle as medium by entering the RGB value
• Test Pattern: Generate a custom test pattern for setup
• NDI source
• Ten bits Gradient: For ten bits workflow
• Desktop, Spout: Output applications running on the server in real-time
• Web page: Displays a url. Use light web pages, otherwise it may have a negative impact on the other media playback displayed at the same time as the web page
• Decklink capture card
