Where do I find DekoCast product documentation?
Find Documentation
Go to the Broadcast
Product Support section of the Pinnacle Systems website, www.pinnaclesys.com.
The last time I checked, DekoCast documentation in pdf format could be
found on that
site here.
If you have the documents and Adobe
Acrobat Reader loaded on your system, it's a lot easier to consult when
you run into a problem. Useful documents include
- DekoCast User Guide - the definitive
summary of the GUI, procedures, and operations.
- PostDekoLite User Guide - since all
text design and layout happens in PostDekoLite, you might want to know
more.
- DekoCast Release Notes - just what
has been added or changed since the last version.
- DekoCastCentral User Guide - DCC
sits between DekoCast and automation systems, and also provides a basic
User Interface for live DekoCast control.
- RocketEngine API - a technical, but
very detailed description of all DekoCast object types, their
parameters and operation. If the meaning of certain parameter
settings is still unclear after reading the User Guide, you may want to
try this.
- DekoCast Scene Building - tips for
several techniques to build powerful graphics that use the full range
of DekoCast capabilities.
FYI,
RocketEngine is the name of the internal real-time graphics engine at
the core of DekoCast and Deko Objex.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. This is a
Windows COM-based library for creating and controlling DekoCast from an
external program.
There's also a RocketEingine BCI document. BCI stands for
Bytestream Command Interface. This is an XML-based
command format for controlling and querying DekoCast over an RS-232
serial port or a Network Socket connection.
