• Schedule and program distribution may take some time. If you perform simultaneous distribution to multiple panels, data is actually sent sequentially. For this reason, there may be some time difference in schedule and program distribution.

•Old schedules are no longer required after new schedules have been sent. Unnecessary schedules and their associated content will be automatically deleted the next time Client Scheduler starts.
