Parameter Descriptions

Parameter and Subkey Diction

Subkeys: A subkey means a folder in the parameter files’ tree structure, shown in the DigaSystem Administrator.

Parameter level:

Subkeys (sometimes also called folders) and parameters can be located in three different parameter files (levels): The Global Settings, the Local Settings and the User Settings.

If the parameter level can be chosen at will, the parameter path is shown as e.g. …|Settings| (the three dots in the beginning), that indicate the Settings subkey of any parameter level.

Vertical bar (|) and parameter syntax

If the vertical bar, that separates the subkeys, appears at the end, then a subkey is meant, e.g. …|DigAIRange|Crossfade|Extra| - the Extra subkey in the Crossfade folder. Without the bar the manual refers to a parameter, e.g. |DigAIRange|Crossfade|Extra|FadeInCurveType.

If a parameter value is pointed out or recommended it will be shown as Parameter=Value. As an example: UseOnAirTrackMixer=TRUE means, the parameter “UseOnAirTrackMixer” is (or should be) set to “TRUE”.

Variable <n>

The subkey variable <folder name> or just <n> means the parameter folder can have multiple names or there can be several folders of this type.

Default path

Controls which element is loaded after switching from multi-track into 1-track mode:

0 - the first element (i.e. the element from the top track of multi-track mode)

1 - the element that was originally loaded into OTM

When you drag one audio element into OTM, OTM (since version 1.3 or so) attempts to load a complete transition. With OpenSelectedElement=0, the first element of this transition is loaded into 1-track mode; with OpenSelectedElement=1, the element is loaded into 1-track mode that was dragged into OTM.

This parameter is only used for OTM versions 1.3.346.19 and higher patch levels, or 2.0.497.0 and above.

The "AttackOffset" will be used together with the "AttackTime", the "AttackThreshold" and the "ThresholdTolerance" to detect the start of an audio segment in the recording.

  • The %AttackOffset% ms offset will compensate for internal delays by the detection logic with a default value of 150 ms.
  • The %AttackOffset% ms offset is not needed to compensate for the %AttackTime% ms offset.
  • The %AttackOffset% ms offset can also be used to further correct the detected start position of an audio segment in the recording to the left or the right in the timeline

TransitionFlaggingClasses


 

Possible values: [class];[class];...

The main audio elements will be converted to sub audio elements, if the class is in this lis


TransitionFlaggingLength


integer from 0 to 100

default 30

Percentage criterion; audios shorter than this percentage of the longest loaded audio are set to "sub element" status during (semi-)automated flagging.


TransitionFlaggingMode

1, 2, 3, 4

Controls when audio elements are converted between main and sub elements. If transition channels are configured, this is the same as routing to main or transition channels.

1: Conversion runs after each change. The button in the control bar is hidden.

2: Conversion must be triggered manually by a click on the button in the control bar.

3: The button in the control bar toggles automatic conversion (like mode 1) on or off; initially automatic conversion is ON.

4: The button in the control bar toggles automatic conversion (like mode 1) on or off; initially automatic conversion is OFF.

Notes:

  • In modes 3 and 4, the button indicates the ON or OFF state.
  • Depending on whether or not transition channels are configured, the button has different appearance in modes 2, 3, and 4.

TransitionFlaggingRecording


Default, ForceOn, ForceOff

  • Default: The transition flagging logic respects class and length (as in release 2017.2.0)
  • ForceOn - OTM forcibly flags all recordings (identified by: Generator field equals "OTM" with Time_StartOnTransitionChannel=1. It also means recordings are always sub-elements and never main-elements.
  • ForceOff - OTM forcibly flags all recordings (identified by: Generator field equals "OTM" with Time_StartOnTransitionChannel=0

TransitionView

TRUE, FALSE, 1, 0

Only important elements in a transition are focused. Therefore a different visualization is applied for non-rundown elements that are not located in the middle of a transition.

Assuming a rundown that consists of several regular rundown elements and many transitions, it is key that OTM tries to load only a single transition. In order to not hide elements that are relative to the loaded rundown elements, but are not part of the transition currently being edited, these elements should also be loaded, but visualized differently.

  • TRUE - Activate feature
  • FALSE - Deactivate feature

UseForTransitions

TRUE, FALSE, Yes, No, 1, 0

With this flag you can declare a line to be a transition line. All elements belonging to a single transition can be played on this line. In other words: these elements are treated as a unit. The transition elements must be marked with the flag "Time_StartOnTransitionChannel". Enough channels must have been assigned to this line so that all elements of a transition which are intended to be played simultaneously can be played. For more information see TurboPlayer TechManual chapter "Concepts/Transition lines".

Although this parameter does not affect the way OTM works, it is important to understand its effect in relation to "sub elements". "Sub elements" are played out on transition channels if transition channels are correctly configured.

UseOnAirTrackMixer


TRUE, FALSE

Enables OnAIR TrackMixer.

DBM V4: If not enabled, CrossfadeMixer will be used instead.

DBM V5: If not enabled, no crossfade tool is available

UseTimeOfDayView

True, False, 1, 0

Switch between time / duration and real clock times:

  • TRUE - Show Start and Stop fields instead of Mark In and Mark Out fields.

 - Switch ruler to "Time Of Day" view.

  • FALSE - Show Mark In and Mark Out fields instead of Start and Stop fields.

  - Switch ruler to "Relative Times" view.


WaveformOffset

0.0...100.0

0.0

The vertical zoom level in dB, which is applied to the waveform if activated.

If the value is "0.0" then the toggle button is not shown.


WaveformOffsetInitiallyActive

0, 1, FALSE, TRUE, YES, NO

Determines the initial state of the "waveform offset" toggle button:

  • FALSE - waveform offset is off
  • TRUE - waveform offset is on
