Configuration

OpenTZT is completely configured by several ini files.

The most important ini file is the tzt.ini in the openTZT root folder. This file is read once during startup. If you change settings while openTZT is running they will be ignored until you restart openTZT.

tzt.ini

• priority_up = 0|1
  Raise TZT Process Priority When set to 1 more CPU time is allotted to the operation of TZT. Operation of other application become slower. Only applicable in full screen mode(?).
• window = 0|1
  Start TZT in windowed mode When set to 1, TZT will open in a window. When set to OFF TZT will load fullscreen.
• dual = 0|1
  Enable Dual Monitor When set to 1, the monitor output is sent full screen (640x480) to the 2nd monitor. Only operational in full screen mode.
• notext = 0|1
  Disable Text Input When set to 1, pressing both shifts at the same time results in no action. This disables the ability to enter text in TZT.
• scanpocket = 0|1
  Numberpad Presets When set to 1, the NumberPad will store and load presets.
• clone = 0|1
  Enable Clone Window When set to 1, an extra monitor window in created and can be moved around (but not resized).
• ddhel = 0|1
  Enable Hardware DirectDraw Support Turning this to 1 may speed up TZT.
• vsync = 0|1
  Enable Vertical Synchronization When page tearing becomes a matter of concern, please set to 1. Normally you can leave this 0.
• x = num_pixels
• y = num_pixels
  Shift the position of the monitor view in the X (left to right) and Y (top to bottom) dimensions in pixels You may need to adjust this if you are unable to set the vertical and horizontal positioning on your scan converter.
• cutx = num_pixels
• cuty = num_pixels
  Decrease (zoom out) the monitor view in the X and Y dimensions in pixels Limitations of your scan converter may require you to adjust this.
• zoomx = num_pixels
• zoomy = num_pixels
  Increase (zoom in) the monitor view in the X and Y dimensions in pixels Limitations of your scan converter may require you to adjust this.
• shiftmode = 0|1|2
  Behavior of shift key Behavior of the left and right shift keys can be modified. When it changes speed well, perhaps mode 2 is good.

          Both you have not pushed   Only the left             Only the right
  Mode 0  Alpha value adjustment     Opposite refresh rate     Sequential refresh rate
  Mode 1  Alpha value adjustment     Sequential refresh rate   Opposite refresh rate
  Mode 2  Sequential refresh rate    Opposite refresh rate     Alpha value adjustment
  

• quickswitching = 0|1
  Enable Video Layer Blend Modes When set to 1, when M , . and / keys are operational and cause video layer blending. When set to 0 the keys have no function.
• previewinterval = num_milliseconds
  Refresh frequency of the preview window (in milliseconds, with 1000 = 1 second) Sets the renewal frequency of the preview window. The preview window can also be refreshed by pressing the F11 key or by selecting to edit the non playing video layer. The preview window is only refreshed for a video layer that is being edited but not currently playing.
• bpm = count_value
  Default BPM (1000 = 1BPM) Sets the default BPM (in thousands). BPM has an influence on some effects. You can also set the BPM while TZT is running by pressing the HOME key 4 times (in rhythm with the music).
• recordable = 0|1
  Enable AVI record function When set you 1 you can press the SHIFT+F12 keys at the same time to record the current monitor output to an AVI. Files will be saved to the "Record" folder which resides next to the openTZT.EXE. During a live performance you will probably want this set to 0 as it will slow down openTZT and may also cause a program crash. You at your own risk.
• maxfps = num_frames_per_second
  Set Maximum FPS (Frame Per Second) Setting the FPS higher may smooth the video output but CPU load is increased which may cause TZT to respond to keystrokes slower than you would like. You should set this to the maximum framerate you would ever want to achieve. 30 should be acceptable for NTSC outputs and 25 should be acceptable for PAL outputs. If you are running VGA to an LCD projector 60 may be beneficial, but is probably not required for peak performance.
• initqt = 0|1
  Enable QuickTime Functionlity When set to 1 allows TZT to load MOV and SWF files.
• sound = 0|1
  Enable Sound Functionality When sound function is not used, please set to 0
• showposition = 0|1
  Enable playback position indicator When set to 1 the playback position of the movie is indicated, which may cause TZT to require higher CPU usage and thereby slow down.
• skipq = 0|1
  Disable allotting material to the Q key Setting this to 1 will disable material being allocated to the Q key. The advantage to this is always having a quick way to clear material from a video slot. TZT may also load faster with this set to 1. Setting this to 0 will allow material to be allocated to the Q key.
• swap_spc_esc = 0|1
  Switch role of space key and ESC key Setting this to 1 will cause the ESC key to switch video layers and the space key to only switch the video layer while it is being depressed.
• ctrl = 0|1|2|3|4
  Select which keys you would like to use for controlling effectors. Some (laptop) keyboards do not have two CTRL keys, so it may be necessary to adjust this setting. US keyboards are not likely to contain a Hiragana key.

  0 - The left CTRL key and the right CTRL key
  1 - CAPS key and the right CTRL key
  2 - The left CTRL key and Hiragana key
  3 - CAPS key and Hiragana key
  4 - Special MoRpH mode (CTRL Keys, Insert, and Mouse buttons)
  

• mixer = 0|1|2
  Try to be able to cooperate with the T bar of EDIROL, V-4 to be able to operate mix with the MIDI controller.

  0 - There is no MIDI control
  1 - It cooperates with EDIROL V-4
  2 - It cooperates with the general-purpose MIDI controller
  

• midi = midi_device_name
  Connected MIDI device name Please input all or part of connected MIDI device name. If it is EDIRL UM-1X, it does not care with "EDIROL" and "UM-1". It can know name from the page of property audio of the control panel.
• pagesync = 0|1|2
  

  0 - Same period it cannot point (? Bad translation)
  1 – Effectors pages change with material pages on F1-F9
  2 – Change effector pages by using CTRL+F1-F9
  

• disabletaskswitching = 0|1
  Task switch is made invalid When it turns to 1, even at the time of window mode ALT+TAB becomes invalid.
• c3dq = 0|1|2
  Quality of 3D effect. Sets the rendering quality of 3D effects. Higher settings create higher CPU loads.

  0 - Low Quality/High Speed - No Filtering
  1 - Medium Quality/Speed - Mediam Texture Filtering (less conspicous artifacts)
  2 - High Quality/Low Speed - High Texture Filtering (try reducing when artifacts are not conspicuous)
  

• ps_ip = ip_address
  Network Cooperative Mode IP address Port number 1028 (fixing) Settings for 2 person cooperative mode.
