Scheduled playback allows you to play content saved to the board’s storage according to a created schedule. To register content and create schedules, you must use the “Visual Software Suite” application software.

The basic flow of operation is as follows:

1) Create a schedule.

• Create a schedule using “Visual Software Suite.” This includes content, playlists, timetables, and calendars.

2) Output the schedule.

• Output the created schedule to the board.

3) Check the settings of the board.

• The content will be played back following the created schedule according to the date and time of the board.

When multiple boards are connected to the same network, you can perform synchronized playback. This is achieved by specifying start times from a primary board to secondary boards.

Key points on setting:

• Configure the primary board’s settings after you finish configuring the secondary boards.

• On the [Player] → [Settings] page, check the number of boards that will perform synchronized playback and set the [Unit] of each board to match this number.

• Set [Primary / Secondary] of each board. Set one board as [Primary] and all others as [Secondary]. This setting is common to both the [Player] → [Settings] page and the [System] → [Date and Time] page.

• We recommend setting [Sync Protocol] to [SoftwareSync] for high time synchronization accuracy. This is set on the [System] → [Date and Time] page.

• Set the same [Domain No.] for all boards to be synchronized. This is on the [Player] → [Settings] page.

• When using [SoftwareSync], set only one board as the primary board within the same domain number.

• To perform synchronized playback, the number of target boards must match the number set in [Unit]. If playback cannot start, check the [Unit] setting and the power/network state of each projector.
