Uporabniški priročnik

Ta izčrpen uporabniški priročnik ti bo pomagal osvojiti vse funkcije M³, od osnovne nastavitve do naprednih tehnik predstavitve multimedijske vsebine.

Začetek

Prenesi in namesti

Najnovejšo različico lahko preneseš s strani za prenos. Stran ti bo priporočala najboljšo različico za tvojo napravo in prikazala najnovejšo različico.

Prvi zagon

Ko boš prvič zagnal M³, te bo vodil čarovnik za nastavitev, ki bo nastavil bistvene nastavitve za vašo občino:

1. Izberi jezik vmesnika – to določa, v katerem jeziku se bodo prikazovali meniji in gumbi v M³.
2. Izberi vrsto profila – izberi »Običajno« za običajno občinsko uporabo ali »Drugo« za posebne dogodke.
3. Nastavi občinske podatke - vnesi podatke o vaši občini ali uporabi funkcijo samodejnega iskanja.
4. Nastavi urnik shodov – nastavi urnik shodov med tednom in ob koncu tedna.
5. Izbirne funkcije – nastavi povezovanje s programom OBS, glasbo v ozadju in druge napredne funkcije.

Namig

Vzemi si čas za nastavitev – vseeno pa lahko te nastavitve kadar koli spremeniš v meniju Nastavitve.

Pregled glavnega vmesnika

Glavni vmesnik M³ je sestavljen iz več ključnih področij:

• Navigacijski predal - dostop do različnih razdelkov in nastavitev
• Koledarski pogled - brskanje po multimedijski vsebini po datumu
• Seznam multimedijske vsebine - ogled in upravljanje multimedijske vsebine za izbrane datume
• Orodna vrstica - hiter dostop do običajnih funkcij
• Vrstica stanja - prikazuje potek prenosa in glasbo v ozadju ter stanje povezave s programom OBS Studio

Upravljanje multimedijske vsebine

Razumevanje pogleda koledarja

V pogledu koledarja so prikazani urnik shodov in razpoložljiva multimedijska vsebina:

• Dnevi shodov - označeni dnevi kažejo, kdaj so na razporedu shodi.
• Indikatorji multimedijske vsebine - ikone prikazujejo, katera vrsta multimedijske vsebine je na voljo.
• Navigacija po datumu - za premikanje med meseci uporabi smerne tipke.

Organiziranje multimedijske vsebine

M³ samodejno organizira multimedijsko vsebino glede na vrsto shoda in razdelek:

• Deli shodov - multimedijska vsebina je razvrščena po delih shoda (javni govor, Zakladi iz Božje Besede itd.).
• Deli po meri - ustvarite lahko dele po meri za dodatne multimedijsko vsebino, če na določen dan ni načrtovan noben shod.

Predvajanje multimedijske vsebine

Odpiranje multimedijskega predvajalnika

Za predvajanje multimedijske vsebine med shodom:

2. Nastavi bližnjico – Nastavi tipkovno bližnjico za deljenje zaslona, kot je določena v Zoomu. Poskrbi, da bo v Zoomu označena možnost »globalno« (angl. global).
3. Samodejni nadzor – M³ bo samodejno vklapljal in izklapljal deljenje zaslona v Zoomu, ko bo to potrebno
4. Ročni nadzor – Če je treba, lahko deljenje zaslona še vedno ročno upravljaš v Zoomu

OBS Studio Integration

Setting Up OBS Integration

To use M³ with OBS Studio for hybrid meetings:

1. Install OBS Studio - Download and install OBS Studio
2. Enable WebSocket - Install the WebSocket plugin in OBS
3. Configure M³ - Enter OBS port and password in M³ settings
4. Set Up Scenes - Create scenes for camera, media, and other content
5. Test - Verify playback works properly

OBS Scene Management

M³ automatically switches OBS scenes during presentations:

• Camera Scene - Shows the lectern/camera view
• Media Scene - Displays media content
• Image Scene - Shows images (can be postponed if enabled)
• Automatic Switching - Scenes change based on media type and settings

Advanced OBS Features

Postpone Images

Enable this option to delay sharing images to OBS until manually triggered:

1. Enable "Postpone Images" in OBS settings
2. Images will only be shared when you click the button to show them using OBS Studio. This is useful for showing images to in-person audience first.

Scene Switching Behavior

Configure how M³ handles scene changes:

• Switch After Media - Automatically return to previous scene
• Remember Previous Scene - Restore the scene that was active before media

Audio Configuration for Hybrid Meetings

When using M³ with OBS Studio for hybrid meetings (in-person + Zoom), you need to configure audio settings to ensure meeting participants can hear the media:

Zoom Audio Settings

Before every meeting, you must enable Original Audio in Zoom:

1. Open Zoom and go to Settings
2. Navigate to Audio → Advanced
3. Enable "Show in-meeting option to 'Enable Original Sound'"
4. Check "Disable echo cancellation" (first checkbox)
5. Check "Disable noise suppression" (second checkbox)
6. Uncheck "Disable high-fidelity music mode" (third checkbox)
7. Before starting each meeting, click the "Original Audio" button in the meeting controls

Alternative: Share Computer Sound If Original Audio doesn't work well in your setup:

1. Before playing media, go to Advanced tab in Zoom screen sharing options
2. Check "Share computer sound"
3. Note: This option must be enabled every time you start a new Zoom session

Best Alternative: Consider using M³'s Zoom integration instead of OBS Studio, as it uses Zoom's native screen sharing which handles audio more seamlessly and doesn't require complex audio configuration.

Why Audio Configuration is Necessary

M³ plays media with sound on your computer, but this audio is not automatically transmitted through the video stream to OBS Studio. This is the same behavior you would experience with any other media player.

The audio issue is not related to M³ - it's a limitation of how OBS Studio video streaming works with Zoom. The video stream acts like a virtual camera without sound, just like a webcam, so you must explicitly configure Zoom to capture the computer's audio. This implies that your computer has two sound cards, and if this isn't the case, you probably won't be able to use the OBS Studio integration successfully.

Alternative Solution: Consider using the Zoom integration instead, as it uses Zoom's native screen and audio sharing, which handles audio more seamlessly.

Troubleshooting Audio Issues

Common Problems:

• No audio in Zoom: Check if Original Audio is enabled and properly configured
• Poor audio quality: Verify the three Original Audio checkboxes are set correctly
• Audio not working after Zoom restart: Original Audio settings must be re-enabled for each new Zoom session

Best Practices:

• Test audio configuration and sharing before meetings
• Create a checklist for audio setup
• Consider using "Share Computer Sound" as a backup option
• Consider using Zoom integration instead of OBS Studio for simpler audio handling
• Ensure all AV operators are familiar with these settings
