DMP-7000
Content must be located on the DMP-7000 computer and placed within a library folder named and
located according to the following requirements:
Drive Letter\V7000\Sign Folder\Library folder
Drive Letter: C: or D:, depending on where your DMP-7000 folder is located
Sign Folder:
The folder created for the display type your content is intended for, named
according to ‘height x width’.’color technology’.’pixel technology’.Sign (e.g.
720x1280.RGB16MB.L.Sign)
Library Folder: Your content library folder, which must be named according to ‘Library name’.Lib
(e.g. Sponsors.Lib)
The full path of the example library would be D:\V7000\720x1280.RGB16MB.L.Sign\Sponsors.Lib\
Guidelines:
The library folder can be created by you and named according to your preferences; however its
name must have “.Lib” at the end.
The sign folder may have multiple library folders, but library folders may not have any subfolders
within them. Therefore, content can be stored within Sign Folder\Sponsors.Lib but it cannot be
stored within Sign Folder\Sponsors.Lib\Corporate.
It is recommended to map a drive letter on your Show Control user station to your DMP-7000
content folder. For help with doing this, refer to
