How to create a schedule How to create a schedule
To execute scheduled playback on the HDMA-4000, create a schedule file with a
text editor and register (copy) it to the HDMA-4000 unit.
Description of schedule text Description of schedule text
A schedule file is a text file named "Schedule.txt." It consists of a content definition
block and a schedule definition block.
* The composition of a schedule file varies, depending on the settings.
* The file name is case sensitive.
- Content definition block
Starting with ";Contents", it describes the content name and the content files
which are included in each block.
Write the content name at the top of the line. To specify content files, add a "Tab"
at the top of the line and write the path name (the relative path from the folder
where Schedule.txt has been saved).
* Define the contents, which are specified in the schedule, here.
The content file cannot be specified directly with the content name.
- Schedule definition block
Starting with ";Schedule", it describes the channel name and its schedule. When
multiple channels (schedules) are written, the first channel will be executed
(default setting).
Write the channel name and the date of the schedule at the top of the line and
add a TAB at the top to insert the Time. (Where "*" is specified as the Date or
Time, the schedule is executed when no schedule entry matches the current
time and date). If no schedule entry matches the current date and time, the
HDMA-4000 will enter the Stop state.
Seamless playback and volume adjustment are available in the scheduled
playback.
* Seamless playback
Seamless playback is a function whereby two different files are played seamlessly. With
the HDMA-4000, files described in the same content can be played seamlessly. To enable
seamless playback, add "1" (1: ON, 0: OFF) after the content name in the content definition
block (See *1 on the next page). The files used in seamless playback have to be encoded in the
same format and have the same parameters. Files in different formats (e.g.. MPEG2 transport
stream/program stream) cannot be used for seamless playback. When the parameters of the
files are different, the second or later files may not play properly.
