Media
Inside DyLOS, media is video or image file content that is able to be played on your Zones.
Media is added, renamed and organized via the Library window.
Adding Media
From within the Library or the Zone Composer window:
To add media, simply hold and press any empty media slot, then choose from the pop-up:
A file explorer will appear, and you can select your content. Single or multiple pieces of media may be selected at once. If multiple pieces of media are selected, they will be added in alphabetical order to the next available slots, starting with the slot which you pressed.
You may also "drag and drop" media into empty slots if you are on a PC.
When the media is added, you will see it load into the interface as it is automatically optimized to run smoothly in ONYX. If you have added a lot of media at once, this may take a few minutes. This will vary based on your system's specifications.
Organizing and Renaming Media
Media may be organized into folders, as well as moved, copied, deleted, and renamed in the same manner as all other content in DyLOS. See the Library page for instructions.
Media Requirements
DyLOS uses the FFMPEG library to import media. This list online shows all supported file types: http://ffmpeg.org/general.html#Supported-File-Formats_002c-Codecs-or-Features
Using Existing Media
When creating a new show, you will have the option to make use of all the media from the current active show. When selected by pressing the button so that it is red, all media will be imported into your new show:
Resynchronizing Media
When you open a show file that was created in a previous version of ONYX, you may desire to import the Factory and Owner media so that you can use the most up-to-date media, generators and effects that are packaged with DyLOS.
To do this, simply enter the Quick Menu by pressing the key in the upper left corner to enter the menu, then to enter the main menu. On the left sidebar, press and navigate to from the bottom navigation.
Now you will see the option to "Resynchronize DyLOS Media." Press and you will be given the options to pull in the Factory Media, Factory & Owner Media, or All Media, or you can cancel the command:
The process will bring up a progress bar, and when it is complete, you will be able to see the media in DyLOS.
Media Warnings
If your media is corrupt, missing, or a wrong file type, you will receive warnings on the Library folder navigation, the content slot itself, and the top navigation bar as shown:
Media that shows a warning may not play, or may not play smoothly. It is essential to resolve these errors before attempting to use the content in a show! Delete and replace the media that has been flagged with the warning and you'll be good to go!
