Global Settings

There are several global settings that can be accessed through the global settings button in the Toolbar. Here is a description of each setting:

• Installation Name: This name is used to notify you about expiring subscriptions or other installation-related events.
• Starting Project: Specifies the path to a project that will automatically load when running the ProtoPixel Mapping Tool. This is useful for autonomous installations.
• Async Rendering: It is recommended to keep this option activated for better performance. However, some older systems may actually perform better with it deactivated.
• Autosave: The program periodically saves your work so that you can recover it in case of an outage or a crash. If a backup project is found when starting the application, a dialog will prompt you to recover it.
• Process Sound: Enables sound processing for scripts that require it.
• Global Framerate: Sets the maximum framerate for the entire application.
• Preview Quality: Limits the quality of the preview in the ProtoPixel Mapping Tool. This does not affect the quality of the LED output, but reducing it can improve performance.
• Recorder Devices: Refers to recording output for a single SD controller.
• Manual Artnet Devices: Refers to manual Art-Net configuration.
• Scheduler: Refers to the scheduler feature.
• Recording: Refers to recording output for a ProtoPixel Player.
