...
NoteSetting a new Default Value and republishing the presentation will not set the value of that variable to the new default value. Instead, the variable will retain whatever value it had before the publish operation. To set variables to their new default values, you will need to check the Reset variables to their default value on presentation start box before publishing the presentation. To set a single variable to its new default value, use the Reset Variable command. |
Access: Select Sharedto make the User Variable accessible to other presentations scheduled on the player. If two presentations use a variable with the same name, the value of the variable with the Shared attribute will be used for the variable with the Private attribute.
Type: Select a User Variable type:
Anchor type type Local: Local variables can be changed with the Set Variable/Reset Variable commands or via the Local Web Server. They can also be set with properly formatted serial, UDP, and Plugin Message commands.
Networked: Networked variables are set and modified using Data Feeds (RSS, Live Data, or Dynamic Playlists). To create a networked User Variable, you must first specify the Data Feed it will be linked to. Select the desired Data Feed from the dropdown list and click Validate to ensure the link is operational and has correct RSS formatting.
Note title Note Every RSS entry has a <title> value and a <description> value: use the <title> value to designate the name of the User Variable being modified; use the <description> value to change the value of the User Variable.
SystemVariable: System variables are not determined by the user, but by independent system parameters, such as firmware/autorun version number, IP address, RF channel count, and various types of EDID (extended display identification data) information received from the display over HDMI®.
Note title Note Displays will often lack a complete set of EDID parameters. Make sure to test the EDID values of a certain display model before using them in a presentation.
