Polycom PDS 2000 manual Using a Data Source

Using a Data Source Using the Data Parser

Using a Data Source

After a Data Source is created, it can then be used to replace the sources in the Entertainment, Breaking, and Sports News default playlist templates or to create a new FSData template. With the Remote Manager and Web Controller tools, administrators can distribute a data source created in any one Data Parser to all PDS Players in a network.

NOTE: All PDS Players must have Data Parser installed and running. To confirm that a Player has Data Parser installed, consult the System Info tab of the Network pane in Remote Manager. If the Dataparser Version, Dataparser License, and DP ID fields exist and are populated with data, the Data Parser should be installed on the target Player.

To use a data source in a playlist in a remote PDS Player:

1Open the Remote Manager.

2If the data source has been created on a remote PDS Player, you will need to:

a Right-click on the PDS Player and open the Management Console. b Open the File Manager tab of the Management Console.

c Navigate to C:\PolycomContent\Data. Locate the .xdsrc file for the data source you created in the previous section.

dDownload the .xdsrc file to the computer running Remote Manager.

eWhen the download has completed, close the Management Console and return to the Remote Manager main interface.

3In the Remote Manager main interface, click Publish Content.
