Scheduling the DPI
"Schedule” in the CCMS format (.sch) is required disregarding the types of triggering
methods such as analog DTMF cueTone, GPI/GPO, Sched. Time, manual and digital cueTone
– SCTE35 (detected by the Splicer). Similar to the analog Ad Insertion system, Duet – DPI-
1200 provides NO play-spot command. The action to achieve a function similar to 'play-spot'
is to trigger an event manually. The content being played is according to the pre-
programmed CCMS schedule.
Schedules, verifications, commercial media files, etc… are stored in separate directories in
the operating system.
