Local Channel Management

The DR500 allows you to locally manage the channels authorized to you through DMX/DBS National Authorization Control Center. From your location, you can temporarily delete an authorized channel so that it cannot be played for a specific time in your location. Then, when you decide the timing is right, you can add the authorized channel into your format again.

Deleting Authorized Channels
