Controlling multiple DMP-7000 displays
In addition to using multiple script commands in a scripting button, when creating scripts for DMP-7000
signs, it is possible to create a single script command which controls multiple signs. As you create the
script, when you reach the step which requires you to choose the sign you wish to control, simply check
the box for each display you wish to control – you are not restricted to only selecting one display.
Notes:
If you want to play a media file on multiple displays, ensure that the media file is
located in the library of each display, and that each of the displays has the same folder
structure (i.e. the path to the file, including folders and subfolders, is the same for each
display).
This method, of course, can only be used when you want multiple displays to do the
same thing (i.e. execute the same type of script).
