Streamer Utilities
30
The DMXStreamer's Playlist holds 100 schedule entries. An entry can be either an Event or a Season,
although only Events can be scheduled in the current release of Streamer Utilities. Seasons can be scheduled
from the
4-3-Edit Season
menu on the DMXStreamer.
Each Event consists of the slot identifier of a Show and details of when and how it is scheduled to be
replayed.
A Season is a selected range of Events that only occur during a specified part of the year.
Selecting the Show
The
Show
selection box allocates a recorded Show [A to Z] to the current Event. Each Event contains
either the name of the stored Show or
No Show
if the Event is not defined.
Removing an Event
Selecting
No Show
removes the Event from the Playlist.
Event Timing
An Event can be started and stopped by a range of methods that enable very flexible scheduling.
Examples of scheduling possibilities using these methods include:
Starting a Show at sunset every night and having it repeat continuously until midnight. (Using the
Timed Auto Play option.)
Starting a Show whenever the lighting system is powered up. (Using the
Power ON
option.)
Starting a Show each time a new customer enters a showroom, even if the previous Show has not yet
completed. (Using the
Switch Closed
option.)
Starting a Show at 18:15:32 on July 4
th
and repeating it four times. (Using the
Looped Auto Play
option.)
Starting a Show and repeating it continuously, whenever the building management computer system
draws the blinds. (Using the
Remote Command
option.)
Starting a Show at sunrise every Tuesday and repeating it continuously until an hour and five minutes
after sunset. (Using the
Timed Auto Play
option.)
As Events may overlap, it is important to understand the priority of scheduled Events in the DMXStreamer.
(See
Replay Priority
on page 41).
