The SLM Slideshow Player software is intended to ease the display of images and image sequences on HOLOEYE Spatial Light Modulator devices. These image files may represent phase maps (if the SLM is set up as a phase modulating device) or amplitude distributions (if the SLM is set up as an amplitude modulating device utilizing a polarizer).
During start-up, the software will detect the connected SLM device to make sure that images will be displayed on the SLM device properly. In order to do so, the software checks if the SLM is set up properly as a screen in your operating system and it will use this screen for displaying images.
SLM Slideshow Player软件旨在简化HOLOEYE Spatial Light Modulator设备上图像和图像序列的显示。这些图像文件可以表示相位图（如果SLM设置为相位调制设备）或幅度分布（如果SLM设置为利用偏振器的幅度调制设备）。
在启动过程中，软件将检测连接的SLM设备，以确保图像将正确显示在SLM设备上。为此，软件会检查SLM是否作为操作系统中的屏幕正确设置，并使用此屏幕显示图像。

Slodeshow播放器允许在SLM上显示所谓的根文件夹及其子文件夹中的图像文件选择。该根文件夹可以在软件运行期间进行更改。使用这种根文件夹的概念是为了加快搜索先前生成的配置。不可否认的是，还假定用于在SLM上显示的图像通常在用户为此目的而创建的某些文件夹中找到。
该软件旨在将选定的图像作为SLM上的序列以用户选择的帧速率显示。该图像序列在软件内部被视为所谓的“播放列表”。播放列表可以使用此软件保存和加载。保存播放列表时，播放模式，速度和其他设置也会保存为播放列表的一部分。目的是为了使用SLM设备进行重复的实验或演示，应该很方便地快速恢复所有相关设置，并且能够直接开始显示包含在这种播放列表中的准备好的图像序列。
The slodeshow player permits a selection of image files within a so-called root folder and its subfolders to be displayed on the SLM. This root folder can be changed during operation of the software. The concept of such root folders is used in order to speed up the search of previously generated configurations. Admittedly it is also assumed that images for display on the SLM are typically found in certain folders the user creates for this purpose.
The software is intended to display selected images as a sequence on the SLM with a user selected frame rate. This sequence of images is treated inside the software as a so-called ‘playlist’. Playlists can be saved and loaded using this software. When saving a playlist, the play modes, speed and other settings are also saved as part of the playlist. The purpose is that for doing repeated experiments or demonstrations with an SLM device, it should be convenient to recover all related settings fast and to be able to start directly with displaying the prepared image sequence contained in such a playlist.
