Version 3.9
Teaser Mode
To try out the functionality of MA VPU on a PC without purchasing a VPU, use the Teaser Mode. With the Teaser Mode, you can use the MA VPU software without a dongle for small applications without a water mark.
Limitations:
- Maximum 2 patched VPU Layers
- Maximum 1 VPU station in a session
- Maximum 1 DVI output (assigned in Display Settings)
- Maximum video content below 800x600 pixels (there is no limitation for pictures or sound files)
Restriction:
Since V3.1 the MA VPU Pixel Mapper works independent from VPU hardware.
The Pixel Mapper then only works within MA-Net (not with Art-Net or sACN) and can be mapped on the parameters of the selected session.

If one of the above limitations is not met, a water mark is displayed. Teaser Mode status messages are displayed in a docking frame dialog named "Teaser Status" that is displayed by default.
If the user disabled the docking frame or the Teaser Status window, this dialog appears automatically if a violation of the teaser rules occurs. This will only happen once in a showfile.
Important:
You have to install the full Mainconcept MPEG2 Decoder to be able to playback videos without a water mark. The VPU Teaser changes the water mark of the VPU software. For testing purposes, it is possible to use the MPEG2 Demo Decoder.
