Select File to Channel
Description: This command causes the Digital Video Machine 4 to select the specified A/V
clip, Overlay Image, Banner, or Playlist. If the media being searched is a Banner
or Image, it will be displayed on the screen immediately. If the media is a video
or playlist, the next Play command causes the specified file to play from the
beginning. The unit defaults to video #1 at power-up, unless an autoexec file
exists. When receiving this command, the Digital Video Machine 4 always
looks for the file on the currently selected drive.

Play
Description: When used alone, this command causes the Digital Video Machine 4 to play the
currently selected video or playlist. If a clip is stilled, this command resumes
play. Also, if you place a file number ahead of the play command, the DVM4
will search and play that file directly. For some cases, this can allow you to skip
the ‘Select File’ command.
