52 Scheduler
6. Infinites started on a later slot will take precedence over earlier infinites.
7. If two or more events with the same profile are scheduled for the same start
slot, the first one found in the file will be executed. This should only occur
as a mistake . Ex. Two one-shots, finite loops, or infinite loops are
programmed with the same startslot.
When Double Occupancy is Legal: There are times that two events can legally
occupy the same slot. These are expected to occur as:
•
Overlaps - When two or more loops (finites or infinites) unintentionally line
up. Ex. A 3hour infinite and a weekly infinite will eventually overlap, if
programmed on same timestamp of the day, but not necessarily the same
datestamp.
•
One-shot Overrides - one-shots that are intended to supercede a standard
finite or infinite show. Ex. A special holiday show at the regular show's slot.
•
Finite Overrides - Finites that are intended to supercede another finite or
infinite show. Ex. 1week finite that is placed in the middle of a 6month finite
to override the standard show for 1week, then go back to normal.
•
Infinite Overrides (Replacements) - Infinite loops scheduled for the same
timestamp at a later date. Ex. Daily infinite for three months, another daily
infinite for the rest of the year. Although this probably should be
programmed as finites, a customer may program it as replacements.
Loading New Schedules on the DVM4
You can FTP schxxxxx.txt to the Schedules directory on the DVM4. To
activate the schedule, simply search it as you would a video file. The channel
number does not matter since you can only have 1 schedule loaded at a time,
however it must be present.
