In the General section, set up a DSP and video fillers for both songs and commercials.

 

settings_general

 

DSP preset: enable the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to process the audio signal of the Program (the final audio/video output). A preset is available in the XautoTV installation folder.

Video filler: a path to a video or a generic image to be used as a filler on TV. A song, which has no video or image associated with it, will use this filler.

Video filler spot: a path to a video or a generic image to be used as a filler on TV. An advertisement, which has no associated video or image, will use this filler.

 

In addition, the following functions can be enabled:

- Ignore skip on sequence: prevents the airing sequence (for example an advertising cluster) from being cut if the airing on XautoTV is delayed compared to the airing of Xautomation.

- Replace crawl separator: use a different separator when airing the crawl. To do this, enter in the Old: field the separator used and in the New: field a character to your liking or the path of an image (.png).

- Avoid skip: prevents automatic skip if there are a few seconds left to the end of the video. It is possible to choose a different value in seconds for the short files (less than 20 sec.).

 

In the Audio/Video device section, select the Program output device and the video format through the Output Program To: and Video Format: options.

Finally, it is possible to choose peripherals for Program and Preview pre-listening.

 

In the CG Times section it is possible to set the times (in ms) for the appearance and disappearance effects of the CG Groups and CG Elements.
