BOOBS Manual
1. Configuring BOOBS-Servers
There's a navigation-item called BoobsControl within OrgaNet (Beamsystem > BoobsControl). Here you can configure as many BOOBS-Servers as you like. A BOOBS-Server is nothing more than the IP-address and the port of your Beam-PC.In order to recognize the correct machine, all BOOBS-Servers must be registered here.
It never hurts to have a second Beam-PC for testing purposes.
2. Using BOOBS from the Beam-PC
If you're standing in front of the Beam-PC, you can use BOOBS from there.There are times, when you WANT to use BOOBS that way. For example during the competitions or the Prizegiving-Ceremony.
Here are the keyboard-shortcuts:
| Key | Function |
| RIGHTARROW | Softskip to the next slide |
| SHIFT+RIGHTARROW | Hardskip to the next slide |
| LEFTARROW | Softskip to the previous slide |
| SHIFT+LEFTARROW | Hardskip to the previous slide |
| CTRL+ALT+Q | Quit BOOBS and restart |
| CTRL+ALT+F | Toggle Fullscreen |
3. Using BOOBS from OrgaNet
You'll have access to BOOBS at the following OrgaNet-Locations:-
Beamsystem > Manage Playlists
This will be the place, from where you use BOOBS most of the times.
One of the most important things is selecting the BOOBS-Server. You can configure as many BOOBS-Servers as you like. It may be a good idea to set-up a identical Beam-PC for testing purposes. It never hurts to preview a competition-playlists before showing it live on the bigscreen :)
The next important thing here is the upload of the playlists. Please note, that uploading a playlist before actually playing is mandatory! If your Playlist (normal or competition) has been uploaded, you can click on PlayNOW to play it. Playlists loop by default.
Also, you can control most of BOOBS' functions, like hard- and softskips here. There's also an option to crash BOOBS (to force a reload of the program). Please use this, if you experience problems, and are not present at the Beam-PC itself.
Last but not least, you can access SiegMeister from here. SiegMeister is the PartyMeister-Module for the prizegiving-ceremony. But please use this with care, because you surely don't want to display the current voting-results during the middle of the party :)

Beamsystem > Slides
Every slide has a "PlayNOW" button. And PlayNOW does exactly that :) Please note, that slides, that are called using that button, stay on screen until you do either a soft- or a hardskip.
This is useful for displaying critical information such as "Compo X delayed" or something like that.
It has certainly proven useful in the last years.
