Mediatek Configuration

Mediatek can be tweaked using the mediatek.ini file found in the Application Data folder. The following tags can be set:

  • [global]
    • screen-size: (resolution) size for the interface
      • default: current
    • fullscreen: (boolean) whether or not to run the interface in fullscreen mode
      • default: true
    • startup-project: (string) path to a startup project. Otherwise, the project manager will be used.
      • default: empty
  • [protocol] and [protocol-{2..N}]
    • type: (string) one of
      • mos: MOS Protocol over TCP/IP
      • pbus: PBUS Protocol over serial port
      • leitch stillstore: Leitch Stillstore Protocol over serial port
    • port: (serial port) serial port configuration (see below for details)
    • log: (path) path to a log file
      • default: empty (no log file)
  • [output] and [output-{2..N}]
    • device: (string) name of the device: display-# or sdi-# (e.g. display-1, sdi-1)
      • default: autodetect
    • resolution: (resolution) resolution for the first output device
      • default: current
    • framerate: (float) framerate, used for a non-sdi device
      • default: autodetect
    • fullscreen: (boolean) whether or not to run a display device in fullscreen
      • default: true

Datatypes are:

  • resolution: either a “integer x integer” string (e.g. 640×480) or the name of a resolution from the following list:
    • vga: 640×480
    • svga: 800×600
    • xga: 1024×768
    • 720p: 1280×720
    • wxga: 1280×800
    • sxga: 1280×1024
    • wsxga: 1440×900
    • 1080p: 1920×1080
    • wuxga: 1920×1200
    • 2k: 2048×1080
    • current: the current format
  • boolean: either true, false, yes, no, 1 or 0. An empty string is also considered as false
  • float: values are numbers with a floating point (e.g. 123.456)
  • integer: values with no floating point (e.g. 123)
  • string: a sequence of character. You do not need to use the quotes (“)
  • serial port:A serial port configuration in the following format: [com device name]:[baud rate]:[# data bits]:[parity]:[stop bits]. For example, COM1:9600:8:n:1.
    • com device name is the name of the port (e.g. COM1)
    • baud rate is one of the following: 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 56000, 57600, 115200, 128000, 256000
    • # data bits is either 7 or 8
    • parity is
      • n for none
      • o for odd
      • e for even
      • m for mark
      • s for space
    • stop bits should be 1, 1.5 or 2
