Notes

  1. SCS may not be able to play WMA files with DRM protection (Digital Rights Management). You may get the message 'License Required'.
  2. Provided the necessary CODECs are installed. Generally speaking if the video file can be played by Windows Media Player then the CODEC will be installed and so the video can be played by SCS.
  3. 'Hibernate' options in SFR cues are not available with SCS Lite.
  4. Multi-channel sound cards are supported for multi-channel sound files in all license levels, but Speaker Selection for mono or stereo files played thru a multi-channel sound card is not available with SCS Lite.
  5. The Max. No. of Cues includes all cue types. For example, if you have 30 audio file cues and 20 SFR cues this counts as 50 cues, which means you will need either the Standard or a higher level license. Combined cues (eg a sound file cue and stop cue combined) count as a single cue.
