Parameter Description
Parameters and Subkeys
Subkeys: A subkey means a folder in the parameter files tree structure, as 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 | Parameters being listed without a reference path are always stored under:

"<ComputerName>\TurboPlayer\GUI\Windows\CFM\1\" |
| OtmBlack.xaml, OtmGrey.xaml, OtmVeryLight.xaml Default <empty> If DBM is configured to use OTM for editing mark/fade/link properties (i.e. "DBM/Crossfade/UseOnAirTrackMixer"=TRUE), then this parameter can be set to define an external XAML file, which will be used as a GUI template by OTM. The full path name of the XAML file must be given. XAML example files are delivered with the OTM software package and are located in the folder "OtmAlternateGui". Invalid since DBM version 4.8.7372.0, use xml parameter DBM|OTMSettings instead and define tag "MultiRecSkinfile" holding the path to the OTM xaml file. |
NextElementIndicatorColor
| #000000 Color of the next element position indicator line. |
NextElementIndicatorVisibility

SkipbackAfterLinkoutSet
| 0 .. 10 .. A time in second which is only used by OnAIR TrackMixer. It is the time, the soundhead is positioned back if the user sets the LinkOut during playout by pressing LinkOut button. Note: Invalid since DBM version 4.8.7372.0, use xml parameter DBM|OTMSettings instead. Reference Path
|
SoundheadPositionOnLoad
| MarkOut, MarkIn • MarkOut: Set the view to the MarkOut of the first element when a new transition is loaded. Set the soundhead to the left of the view if SoundheadPreroll is not used or set the soundhead according to the SoundheadPreroll if the parameter is used. • MarkIn: Set the view when a new transition is loaded to the Mark In of the second element. Set the soundhead to the MarkIn if SoundheadPreroll is not used or set the soundhead according to the SoundheadPreroll if the parameter is used. |
SourceEnvelopeType
| Visible, Hidden, VisibleOutsideOfMarkInOut Behavior of source waveform (without fading). Volume changes such as fades/ducking are reflected at the waveform.
|
StopPlaybackWhenSave
| TRUE, FALSE Stop the playback of the audio when the changes are saved.
|
ThresholdTolerance
| Default value: 150 Possible values: 0...100000 AttackOffset in milliseconds for StartNext-Autoducking. 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.
|
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 between 0 and 100 Default value: 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:
|
TransitionFlaggingRecording
| Default, ForceOn, ForceOff
|
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.
|
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. Reference Path
|
UseLoopPlay
| True, False DBM-OTM parameters are defined within the OTMSettings parameter. Use loop playback in OTM: |
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 Reference Path

- Switch ruler to "Time Of Day" view.
- Switch ruler to "Relative Times" view. |
WaveformDisplayType
| Symmetric1Channel, Half1Channel, Symmetric2Channel, Asymmetric2Channel, Half2Channel DBM-OTM parameters are defined within the OTMSettings parameter. Displayed waveform type in OTM: |
WaveformOffset

WaveformOffsetInitiallyActive
| 0, 1, FALSE, TRUE, YES, NO Determines the initial state of the "waveform offset" toggle button:
|
ZeroPositionIndicatorColor
| #000000 Color of the zero position indicator line. |
ZeroPositionIndicatorVisibility
| True, False Show the vertical indicator line at the zero position. The parameter has effect only if you work with relative times.
|
ZoomDefaultCenterPosition
| Soundhead, ViewArea Default center position for zoom action: Soundhead: Zoom to Soundhead (Shift+Scrollwheel, ZoomButton); Zoom to view area (CTRL+Zoom Button/Ctrl+Shift+Scrollwheel) ViewArea: Zoom to view area (Shift+Scrollwheel, ZoomButton); Zoom to Soundhead (CTRL+ZoomButton/Ctrl+Shift+Scrollwheeel) |
