Local Media Folder and File Numbering
When creating a media library on the console, certain guidelines for
naming the folders and files must be followed in order to view the
thumbnails.
Each folder name must begin with a 3-digit index value. In turn, each
file within the Library folder must be named using a 3-digit index
value between 000 to 255 as a prefix.
Two control channels on the console will be used to select a Library
folder and the numbered file within that folder.
Library folders within the
Media
folder must have a number prefix and can have a descriptive name separated from
the number by a period, dash, underscore, or a space. For example:
025.Central Park or 025 Central Park
Files within each library folder must have a numerical prefix, can have a descriptive name if desired, and must have a
three-letter file extension. Each of these parts should be separated by a period:
001.Great Lawn.jpg or 001.jpg
Movie and still image files may be numbered between 000 and 255 and placed in folders numbered 000 - 254.
When adding content files, DO NOT duplicate existing folder and file number combinations. It is best to make new
folders for custom content.
Leading zeros are not required when numbering folders or files, but they can help by making the file listing easier to
read.

files, the old Media control window is still available by selecting Media from the Operation menu. Refer to
