Improve Transition Speeds

We recommend that you disable the video failover feature on DMPs.

Reduce or Resolve Black-Screen Delays After Video Playback

We recommend that you enable syslog on DMPs long enough to configure its settings, even if you have
no plans to use it. When you will not use syslog:
1. Set the syslog server address to 127.0.0.1.
2. Save your changes.
3. Disable syslog.
4. Save your changes.
5. Restart the DMP.
Restrictions
You cannot add an advanced task (or a system task) to a playlist. However, you can schedule them to
occur between playlists.
