StagePlayer Interface

Features of the New StagePlayer

• 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/yellow 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 within the same scene.
    • 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.
    • Select gray scene bar and use the tree dots to the right to duplicate or disable an entire scene. Also available in that menu is adding blackouts per scene as needed.
  • 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)
