Source-RTL Creator and Player at a first glance
After installing Source-RTL, you will see an application named Source-RTL Creator, which will allow you to drag and drop videos to create your timeline. The following is the interface you will see:
- Encrypt files. This option allows you to set a password for your videos - it is enabled by default.
- Quick start guide. The application comes with a set of quick instructions in order to get started with the Source-RTL creator.
- Video drop zone. The area where you can drop files to create your remote timeline. See this article for a list of currently supported video formats and codecs.
- Compensation (ms): the input where you can enter the compensation time (in miliseconds). Compensation serves as a possible delay offset between the input and output timecode in order to compensate for audio or network latency.
- FPS: the frames per second (frequency) at which the still images from the video will appear on the screen. By default, it will be set to 30
- Create button. The “Create” button on Source-RTL will start creating the Source-RTL Player application you will send to your remote viewer.
When you send over the Source-RTL Player to your remote viewer, they will see the following interface (with a different video image depending on the content you have uploaded):
- Video reproduction: the videos you drop on the video drop zone will be played here once the RTS session starts.
- "Waiting…" message: before the RTS session starts, the Source-RTL Player will display a “Waiting…” message. Once the RTS session has been correctly started and configured, you will see “Playing” instead.
- Compensation (ms): a read-only display of the compensation time in miliseconds.
- Timecode display: the time main counter in timecode format (HH:MM:SS frames)
- Audio output: the remote viewer can configure the output device (speakers) to listen to the video in the Source-RTL Player.
- Video file name: the name of the video being played.
- FPS: the frames per second of the video file being played.
- Fullscreen: by default, the Source-RTL Player will be playing in a view which does not occupy your full screen. Click on this button to go into fullscreen.
