What are some tips and tricks for creating presentations with Data in Content Studio?

This article explains recommended procedure for setting up and operating real-time data (RTD). Real-time data includes time, temperature, data from a text file, and in-game statistics. Common in-game stats come from an All Sport Console, DakStats, Data Studio, OmniSport Console, Stat Crew, Sports Wire, GameDay, StatVision, GSIS, IDS, NHL Ice, Hy-Tek and Finish Lynx. Anything requiring JSON feeds will need an updated Show Control to 2.18 or newer.

Steps

Determine your data layout

Determine what displays will show real-time data and the type of information that is needed based upon the sources available.
It is helpful to create a background to visually aid design of the data frame.

The above graphic was made in a separate image rendering program and imported into content studio. The data is shown in this example for design review purposes. It would be removed to allow the data elements to be imported in the Content Studio.
