Players

JingleBox has up to four jingleplayers available at any time. Each jingleplayer can be routed to its own physical output channel, depending on the amount and type of audiocards you use. The jingleplayers can also share an audiocard. Jingleplayers that are not routed to the same output, can play simultaneously. That means that if you have four output channels, you can play four jingles at the same time. In most situations, two audiocards in your system is sufficient.

Each player has two clocks. The first one counts up, the other counts down, keeping track of the remaining time while the jingle is playing. Three seconds before the end of the jingle, the countdown clock turns red, drawing the attention.

If you want to play a jingle not from the very beginning, but from a point somewhere else, use the cuefunction. Cuepoints can be set 'on the fly' and then adjusted manually. With the Cue Audition function, you can hear a repetitive fragment of the audiofile, starting from the cuepoint. This allows very acurate adjusting of the cuepoint.

The jingleplayers need no time for cueing up. They start instantly. Unlike analog jinglemachines, the JingleBox players don't have to rewind when they have reached the end of the audiofile. The players immediately go back to the beginning or the cuepoint as soon as they reach the end or as soon as they are stopped.
