StagePlayer Interface

Features of the New StagePlayer Beta

• Present/Preview Mode
  • The green "Start" button is the way you can start the first video of the show collection
  • The green line on the cue sheet relates to the video that is actively playing on the output screen
  • The orange/gold line on the cue sheet relates to the video that is cued up to play next
    • You can initiate the start of this video in two ways:
      • "Next" button - which will let the current video play through until the end and then seamlessly transition to the next video cue
      • "Jump to Next" button - which will immediately crossfade to the next video cue
  • When you click on any cue line, a pop-up will give you the option to "Cue Next" (which will put this video in the next cue position, or "Jump To" which will immediately crossfade to the next video cue
• Edit Mode
  • Editing functionality
    • Within a scene, you can click and drag the two white bars next to the cue you would like to move to the desired position
    • To move a cue outside of the default scene, use the three dots to the right and select in the dropdown menu the desired position for the cue
    • Run through the cues in the scene display
  • Editing features
    • When highlighting over the cue thumbnail, a preview of the video will display
    • Cues that are moved out of order from the default rental will "disable" the animation cue - this is to ensure that the animation does not display images of the cue that was moved
  • Exporting Cue Sheet
    • Before or after edits are made, download the "Cue Sheet" to an Excel or CSV file
• Output Window
  • The output window could previously be closed, causing an error within the application - this is fixed in the latest versions of StagePlayer
  • The output window now displays the Broadway Media logo, to help correctly setup a secondary display/projector
• Performance Tab
  • The Performance Tab now displays the device's compatibility with the software. It makes recommendations to improve performance and can also when troubleshooting with a customer. This will make it clear if the device will run the animations successfully.
• Download issues
  • In the previous versions of StagePlayer, successful show collection downloads was the primary-reported concern. In this version of the application, many improvements were made to achieve a successful download including 1) pause mid-download if the internet connection was lost, 2) resume download if an error occurred, 3) unzip modification to ensure that the package could be read by the application
• Settings Mode
  • For computers will less computing abilities, Lite Mode enables you to run the videos with some noticeable performance downgrades
  • Enable Debug Mode is helpful when trying to troubleshoot with a customer service team member of Broadway Media. This displays relevant code on the output window for further troubleshooting from our software development team.
• Help Center - directly routes you to our most frequently asked questions (when connected to the internet)
