Video and Mjpeg Streams
All networked players can play Video and Mjpeg streams. See this FAQ to learn more about supported video streaming
formats and codecs.
Note: Unlike other video types, there is no limit on the amount of Mjpeg streams you can display on screen. However,
adding more than a certain number of windows (depending on the player model and stream quality) will begin to reduce
the framerate of the videos.

• URL for video stream: Enter a valid URL for the stream. Alternatively, a User Variable can be used specify the
entire URL or replace part of the URL. To include the Value of the variable in the URL, enter the Name between
two sets of dollar signs (e.g. "http://www.example.com/streams/$$my_URLvariable$$").
• Rotation (Mjpeg only): Specify the clockwise rotation of the streaming video.
• Time on screen: Specify the duration (in seconds) that the stream will be played. This option is only available in
non-interactive presentations. To customize the duration of a stream in an interactive presentation, use a
