Turn an iPad or iPhone into an on-set player screen. Scenica Player can play video loops, NDI streams from the local network, and still images. And it can be controlled remotely, in sync with other players. PERFECT REMOTE CONTROL While you can use Scenica Player by itself, it works best with Scene Maestro. Using a Mac on the network, you can: • create presentations mixing video, image, and NDI layers • see edits reflected live on connected players • trigger simultaneous transitions on all players, or a subset of them • adjust playback and color settings • simultaneously scrub through videos on multiple players Remote control works well with video over Wi-Fi because files are sent to each player in advance and played on command. After pushing the content, very little bandwidth is required to send commands to the players. COLOR CORRECTION Is the white point matching the surrounding lighting? Is the image too dark? You can change color settings remotely in two ways: • Using Scene Maestro, you’ll find the color settings in the Screen inspector on the right, where you can change the white point, black point, color balance, temperature, tint, vibrance, saturation, brightness and contrast. • Or you can use Gamma Board to change the color settings for playback initiated locally in Scenica Player (white point, black point, and color balance). PLAYBACK SETTINGS If a screen is rotated or seen through a mirror, you can adjust the image to match. Is the content to play perfectly matched to the screen dimensions? If not, three resizing modes are available. Choose to either fit or fill the screen, or just ignore the aspect ratio and stretch the image to the edges. On iPhone, Proximity Blackout will turn the screen off while holding the phone to your ear. A simple way to make phone call without making an actual phone call. NDI PLAYBACK Scenica Player can be used to play content from NDI sources it finds on the local network. This can include live cameras or video software with NDI outputs. A gigabit Ethernet connection is recommended for smooth NDI playback. Use an iPad with a USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for best results. NDI® is a registered trademark of NewTek, Inc.
