Movies, Songs along with Advertisements. What's more it also displays
Ad Scrolls at the bottom of the screen.
1. Introduction
2 GB RAM
The Hard Disk size will depend on the
number of hours you intend program
your channels for. One 80 GB HDD
commonly available in the markets can
store 128 hours of program available in
VCD format. Thus if you are intending
to program 16 days with 16 hours per
day without repetition of any programs,
you need to have 2 HDDs of 80 GB
each.

You will receive the installation files of Movie Max on a CD. The CD will
have the Installation Setups of our other CATV related softwares along
with the Movie Max5 Setup exe file. Just insert this CD into the CDROM
and double click on the max5-full-setup.exe which is a self-running
setup file.
Always make folders in drive other than C: Drive. Since C Drive has
Windows installed on it (we recommend that you always install windows
on C Drive) and you may have to format this drive at times, it is a good
idea to have video files on all other dives.
10
In Case of DVDs, copy the VOB files available in the video_ts folder of
the DVD.
In case of movie files, you may find that each file is of around 1 hour
and you may need to break up the big file into smaller files of say 15
minutes duration so that you can run ads after each file. With Movie
Max you need NOT use a separate program to cut the files like VCD
Cutter, MPEG Editor, IFilmEdit or EZ View. These programs let you
select a part of the movie file and save that part as a separate mpg or
dat file but you spend time and hard disk space in doing so. Movie Max
lets you virtually cut movies into smaller parts by just specifying the
Mark-In and Mark-Out points of a video. This you can do while selecting
the video. We will discuss more on that feature later.
Always Copy the relevant files through Windows Explorer only. Usually
the video file names are not indicative of the contents in them so you
have to rename them for your convenience after copying. E.g. rename
VTS_01_2.VOB to SHOLAY2.VOB.
Once you install Movie Max, you will have to start building your
collection of Movies, Songs, Promos, etc by copying the relevant dat,
mpg, avi or mov files from the VCDs' or VOB files from the DVDs to
your system Hard disk.
make Sub Folders in this folder for each movie you have. Just copy
the movie files inside the subfolders and rename them accordingly.

Once you install Movie Max, run the program through the Start menu.
You will get the main menu of Movie Max.
12
In case of Calendar Based Playout Mode you can make sub folders
within the main folder as per the movie name. Eg In D:\Videos above,
you can make sub folders like Karz , Don and copy all related videos
files into it. Movie Max will automatically make playlists of such sub
Now on this form, click on the Select button and select the folder in

Click on Folders
button and you will
get a screen as
shown here
Lets go to Folders option on the main menu and specify the Video
paths required during programming of the channel.
13
This is the most interesting path. Here you select the path of your Full
Screen Video Ad (Spot Ad) Folder. Videos from this folder will be taken
as Ads and options like Show Logos During Ads etc will be applied to
these videos during channel run time.
Ad Path:
Filler Path is a path of special filler videos that play automatically in the
gap between Play At Fixed Time Movie and the earlier finished movie.
You must have the path if you have selected any movie for Fixed
PlayTime. Playing a movie at a fixed time is covered later in this
manual.
No Scroll Folders:
You can set a folder of videos here for which you do not want to display
scroll ads. Though it is possible with movie max to hide scrolls manually
for videos, this can help when you know that whenever videos are
played form this folder, there should be no scrolls displayed. Eg : For
Tele Shopping ad videos. The advertiser will have his own line of scroll
and may not allow you to superimpose you are on his numbers. In such
a case enter such videos in this folder and whenever such videos are
played, your scroll will stop.
After entering all or any Path Names as shown above for 8 categories,
let us look at some special categories displayed in Red color.

mention D:\Videos here and not the sub folders.
You can click on the Open button next to the Select button to fast
open any category in Windows Explorer.

You can click on the Open button next to the Select button to fast
open any category in Windows Explorer.
Note that you can Edit Folders once entered. You cannot delete any

You can now enter more folders by just clicking the Add button and
selecting the video folder from the Hard Drive and clicking on Save
button.
More Categories
15
On the left side, all the videos in the folders specified in Folders option
as explained in the earlier chapter will be listed. We had specified Hindi
Movies in the earlier section. Click on the tabs and go to the ADS tab.
As said earlier, Movie Max can play stored video files one after the other
as per the Playlist made by you and also from a Live source like a
camera or Satellite receiver.
16
Go to ADS tab and add one Full Screen Video Ad file in a similar way to
the sequence.
Thats it! You can now double click and add more entries for the rest of
the day!
Double click on another entry in the left list. After it is loaded, click on
ADD again to add the entry to the sequence. The Start Time of this
second entry will be automatically calculated by Movie Max.
Click on the ADD button and the entry will be added to your sequence
list at the bottom.
To start, double click on the movie file on the left. The file will be loaded
on the right hand corner of the screen. Play and test if you want to. Now
enter a start time for the program in the box named First Event . Note
that this timings must be in HRS HHMMSS Eg : 060000
When you Program your channel, what you do is decide when you
want which movie or Full Screen Video Ad to be played, etc. You want
to be the master controlling the content of the channel. All you have to
do is pick the videos and put them in the playlist. Movie Max will take
care of the Playtimes automatically.

NOTE: The Coming-Up Next List can also be displayed when you
hit the F2 key during the session manually.
You can display Full Screen Coming-Up Movies list like the satellite
channels automatically as a part of the Play Sequence with the clipping
of the next video. To add the Coming-Up Movies list to the sequence,
click on Coming Up button. Now you can either Add or Insert in your

To display the video name in the Current Playing Video Bar, right click
on the Entry as done above. Select the option Show In Video Bar
option. The entry is colored Yellow and the file name is displayed on the
Channel screen for some seconds when play starts.
To just add a part of the movie file, double-click it as usual. Click the
Mark In Mark Out button below the video. A box as shown below will
be displayed.
To Display the name of any movie in the Coming-Up Next List, Select
the movie file name in the Sequence by clicking it. Right Click on the
same entry. Select the option Show in Coming Up. The entry will be
colored Green and the file name (without the file extension) of this video
will be displayed in all our Full Screen Coming Up Next list.
Inserting to Sequence:
You can also INSERT a video by clicking on the position in the
sequence after loading and clicking on the 'Ins' button.
19
You can hide unwanted logos from the movies for each video entry by
pulling the Red Bar on the video to cover the logos before adding to the
sequence.
Movie Max lets you add the LIVE source as an entry for fixed time as
set by you. What this means is that when you do the programming for
the day, if you feel that between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. daily you want to
show a particular music channel you can do it. You have to connect the
channels receiver to the AV-IN of the capture card. Select the LIVE
button which will open the box in which you enter the duration. You can
then Add or Insert that entry just like you enter the Blank Entry as
explained above.
20
Right click on any video you have programmed in the playlist and you
will have an option called Instruction
Select the files on the left side by using Shift Key. Click on Select button
and they will be added to the box on the right. Once you finish selecting
all the files, click on Add or Insert button and the entries will be loaded
onto your playlist.
21
This is a major feature of Movie Max that lets you play your channel
EXACTLY on time as you have programmed it. Normally if we make a
playlist and start playing it, it will play one after the other disregarding
the current system time. In such a case if there is a power failure and
power comes after 30 minutes, the movie will continue from that position
but the future entry times will go haywire. To avoid this, you can click on
the yellow Align to System Time button before you start playing the
playlist. This will delete all the entries that are Past Time. E.g. if you
have programmed from 07:00:00 am to 15:00:00 pm and you start the
software at 07:15:16, clicking on Align to System Time will move the
pointer to current entry and if you click Start PlayList it will play the
exact scene which was supposed to play at 07:15:16 and continue on
time from there.
22
This is pretty easy setting. There are 4 columns First is the Time Line.
The second is the Movie Track. Third is the Ad Track and the Fourth
Your screen has changed and the Calendar List will be shown.
Calendar based playout is the new feature of Movie Max Version 5.0.
With this you can set the movies, ads to play at particular time and date.
Movie will play exactly on the time. Ads will break in between movies.
Lets see how we do it.
23
Select the Folder and all sub folders of movies made by you inside them
will be displayed. These subfolders will normally be your Movie Names.
Click on the Movie Name on the left box and all files in that subfolder
will be displayed in the middle box. To make the playlist of this movie,
just click the Create Playlist button.
Making playlists of videos is very simple here. Click on the Movie Wiz
button. You will get a screen like this:

Thats it!
Just click on the Ad Track in the row next to the time 14:15:00 and a box

On the left you will see the timings of slots. Each slot if os 5 minutes. Let
us set the Movie First. Double click on the Movie Track column at the

displayed.

normal videos, select Movies.

Sometimes you may want a same pattern of ads daily to come at the
same time. Also you may have a set pattern for filler videos, In this case
you can copy the STRUCTURE of your playlist to the next days! Just
click on the track you want to copy. Say AD TRACK, Click on COPY
TRACK button and go to the day you want to copy the structure to and
Copying Tracks:
Thats it! To program other days, just select the date from the calendar
shown on the right and start selecting the movies and ads!
You will see that the filler column will be filled by the Filler Track name.
Click OK
Select the Category of Videos that you want as Filler for that slot. Ed
Morning you may want Devotional songs etc. Also enter the number of
hours that you want this filler to be used for.
The filler track is the last track column. Here you set what filler you want
in case theres no movie or ad to be played during any slot.
26
Wow!
click on the same TRACK TYPE and click on the Paste Track button.
The same entries will be copied!
27
You can avoid that in Movie Max. Because we believe that thats the
worst experience of the viewers who view you channel and expect you
to be professionals!
Observe that the Calendar List will have 13:45:00 slot booked for this ad
list daily!
Also Note that we have made this Ad list to play Daily selecting the
Daily option at the top. You can also select Weekdays like Sunday,
Monday, etc. and these ads will be played only on those days!
Click on the ad slot you want to program. Eg: Here we selected the
13:45:00 slot. Once you do that, the ad video files will be enabled. Click
the ad video file and hit the Add button to include them in your list. Here
we selected Gelusil and Clinic Ad. Note that you can also set the dates
when the ad must start and end. Click one the From Date column for
the ad and select the From Date from the calendar on the left side.
Similarly do it for To Date. Click on Save.

emergency news lines on a Live Video source. This is ideal if you want
to broadcast Live Shows.

will be shown like Composite in, S Video or RF. In case you want to give
a RF in, you can select the channel number on the right.

This is a pre designed box with Red Background and White Text. The
box can be moved using the buttons.

You can play any Video or Full screen ads when there is a dull moment
during a live program. Eg during cricket broadcast, you can play ads
between 2 overs. To do this, double click on the ad files on the left side
and click on the Play Ad button. The ad files displayed here are the
same that you specify in Ad Path option in Folders menu. You may
want to organize a special program where callers call and talk live to
your hosts and ask for videos. A person in your studio can then double
click on the video the customer wants and play it. Just like its is done on
Satellite Channels!
31
Select the background image or video from the file list on the right side
and click on Set Chroma button.
To use chroma keying you will first have to shoot your live sequences
with a single color background screen which is colored either green or
blue (or any color which is not common with the dress or any matter of

2. Have Two Extra Hard Disks. These extra disks can be detached and
given for filling with movies, etc. You can get hold of people with
computers whose only job would be to copy movies onto the hard disks
Once the movies are copied, mount the disk on your system and create
the sequence. Remove the disk that is running and give it for filling. That
way you can fill programs in Hard Disks in turns without having to tell
your staff to do overtime.
1.Note that 400 GB Hard disk stores about 100 DVD Movies in Mpeg-2
format. Thats 20 days of programming at 15 movies day. But you can
play a lot of video songs as fillers and they have to be stored only once
but can be played many times over during the 20 days.
