Including an External Device Control Event in a Playlist

The playlist accommodates the external device control commands as events to control plasma display panels or other devices connected to the network players, but the procedure for adding the control commands is different from that of video or graphics materials.

Hint

Upon playout, the network player sends control signals to connected devices when the corresponding event plays.

As many devices need some time to perform the intended operation after receiving the control signal, consider the time lag when including an external device control command in a playlist.

Adding to a Video or Graphics Event Line

1On the line of the desired event, right-click the Control column. A menu appears.

2Point to [Control (External Device)] on the menu.

A sub-menu listing the registered external device control commands appears.

3Click the desired device control.

The device control mark () appears in the Control column for the selected event.

Note

When including an external device control command in an event, generally, the line of the specified video, graphics and/or text event changes to two-line width. The system considers that any external device control event has a two-second duration. Video, graphics, and/or text events are longer in most, hence the playlist widens the line to show there is a shorter event having the same event number.

Adding to a Line as an Independent Event

1Right-click the line immediately below the location where you want to insert the external device control event.

A menu appears.
