Capture modes and layouts
Capture modes and layout assignment#
This is where you define what guests can see and choose during a session. There are three modes, each with the same structure.
| Mode | Particularity |
|---|---|
| Photo | Always active |
| GIF | Several stills become an animation. Optionally repeated as a boomerang |
| Boomerang | Capture that plays forwards and backwards |
Per mode you set:
- Available layouts — at least one, otherwise the mode cannot be enabled.
- Allow guests to choose the layout — with it off, the default layout is always used.
- Default layout — applies when guests may not choose; "automatic selection" leaves it to the software.
For GIF and boomerang there is more: number of frames, interval between frames, loops and whether printing is allowed.
Layout details on screen#
Which details of a layout the booth shows guests - separated by the two places where they appear:
- Layout selection screen — title, description and number of captures.
- Capture and info screens — layout title and capture counter, in the picture preview as well.
The selection screen only appears when guests may choose the layout themselves. With the choice switched off for a mode, the three upper switches have no effect.
Layout editor#
Layouts are built in the layout editor — image slots, frames, texts, graphics, backgrounds. It has a chapter of its own; here only the assignment of layouts to modes is set.
Layouts belong to the event. A preset brings its own, and a copy of an event takes over its layouts.
