********************************
Pixel Processing;
This option will now only allow bit
color depths
to be
selected that are equal or less than the actual color depth of the
current
OS color display mode. Pixel Processing changes should only be used
when
the speed of scrolling must be tuned to the current OS color display
mode.
This options alters the color depth
of the
internal graphics scrolling engine.
********************************
The [X] [Reload Loop Text] option is
used to
reload the text script when looping.
If this
option is used, the text script file
will be
Cleared and then reloaded from it
original
disk location before beginning the
next scroll
loop.
This should be used when the text is going to be changing by another
process.
It is assumed that the file will be re-copied to the original disk
location
using the same script name.
********************************
The Read time configurations
options
are changed as follows. The [Words Per
Minute][Configure] option will
automatically
set the options to attain the desired
words per
minute reading time of the current
script.
To use this option enter or change
the Words
Per Minute to the desired rate and
click
[Configure]. The [Total Read
Time][Configure]
will set
the speed and other settings to run the script within the
desired
amount of time in seconds. Example: If the script must be read in 2
minutes
(120 seconds), enter "120" into the [Total Read Time] and click
[Configure].
The actual read time may vary by a small amount.
********************************
The [X] [Over Ride Sizing] Option
The option is used to control the
scroll box
sizing when using the reverse scroll
function.
When this option is checked, the
scroll box
size will be the actual size selected
in the
[Window
Size] option. When using this mode there may be partial lines scrolled
when going into reverse scroll.
If the [ ] Over Ride Sizing
is NOT
checked then
auto sizing will be applied to the scrolling box to prevent partial
lines
from being viewed when using reverse scroll.
********************************
The VERTICAL SPACING option
This option can be used to adjust the
blank
space between lines when scrolling
text.
The "0" position on the Vertical
spacing
slider is meant to be used when
your
text is in all caps. Using this
setting
(set to "0") will cut off descending
characters
in text that is not capitalized. To
prevent the
cutoff, adjust the Vertical spacing
to about 10.
Use the [Save Configuration] option
to save
You’re vertical spacing settings.
********************************
MATROX DUALHEAD
DISPLAY ADAPTER SUPPORT
To use a Matrox DualHead G450 etc, you
must download the "Matrox" version of
the
handctrl.dll from
www.drs-digitrax.com.
After downloading the dll file, copy
it to your
existing StudioPrompter folder
(overwrite your
existing handctrl.dll file). Then
restart
StudioPrompter and use the new option
on
the Play Options Panel named [Use
DualHead].
This will divert all play screen
display
operations to
the second half of the DualHead screen while leaving the Operator
Console
screen operating (speed adjust etc.). If you are not in the Dual Head
display
mode (set in the windows/matrox display mode settings) The primary
screen
will be divided in two when scrolling. This may not be your desired
mode
and should not be used.
********************************
OPERATOR MONITOR DISPLAY
When using a Dual Monitor setup you
will have an
additional
option panel named [Monitor]. This panel will display a scrolling text
box showing the text that is being scrolled on the Talent monitor. To
change
the font size, color, etc of the Operator Monitor Display, right click
on the Monitor panel.
