To configure the Axxon Player utility do the following:

  1. Go to the setting panel of the Axxon Player utility. For this click the  button.
  2. To display a semi-transparent debug window over each image, set the Debug checkbox (1).
  3. To enable deinterlacing set the Deinterlacing checkbox (2). To disable deinterlacing remove this checkbox. Deinterlacing allows avoiding artifacts in the video image.

    Image with no artifacts:


                                                                                                    

  4. To enable the option of frames skipping when there is fast playback set the Skip frames during fast forwarding checkbox (3). This functionality is used to reduce the Server load.
  5. To display the utility window over other windows set the Stay on top checkbox (4).
  6. To disable the simultaneous opening of several utility windows set the Deny multiple program instances checkbox (5).
  7. If it is necessary to display titles above video image while playing the video record, set the Show titles checkbox (6). Options of titles displaying such as font, color and place are specified by Settings.xml file which is located in the folder with video archive (in the VIDEO folder). This file is formed by the Captioner object (see the Configuring captions display on a video image section).

    Attention!

    To use the Settings.xml file, the path to the archive files should lead to the disk or to the folder where the Settings.xml file is located (see the Opening video files by specifying the path in the utility section). If the Settings.xml file is missing or a direct path to the archive file is specified, then the titles will be displayed in the center of the video image. If the path to the archive files leads to the exported archive file in the .avi format, then the titles will be displayed according to the information from this archive file.

    Note

    The axis of the titles coordinates is shifted to the right closer to the center of the player's screen in order to prevent the titles overlapping on the debug information.

  8. If resources of video (disks, folders, files) are to be remembered and selected when the utility is run, then set the Remember video source checkbox checked (7). If the checkbox is set unchecked, then video is not shown when the utility is run, but when the path to the folder or file with video is selected, the previously specified path is shown. If the checkbox is set checked, then when the utility is run video is shown starting from the frame at which the viewing was previously stopped.
  9. If the 'stairstep' artifacts appear on video while playing, set the Antialiasing checkbox (8) to eliminate them.
  10. Set the Watermark checkbox (9) to show AxxonSoft watermark over the exported video (see Watermarks).
  11. If it is necessary to display tracks during playback, set the Show tracks checkbox (10).
  12. Click (11) to open a standard Windows dialog box for specifying the folder to export Axxon PSIM archive into (see Exporting the Axxon PSIM video archive using the Axxon Player utility).

    Note.

    The path to the folder can be entered manually to the corresponding field.
