Show Control System: Display Studio Content transition configuration

Setting a Default Zone Transition 

The default zone transition will work for any play or playlist command and Quick Display container triggered content.  It is recommended to create a separate script button for default zone transitions or incorporate the command(s) in your startup script button(s).  DMP-8000 Play Command scripts can also use individual transitions instead of the default, as outlined below.

1. Create a new script button within a scripting container. This will be a default zone transition script button.  After this button is pressed, any content played within the zone where the transitions was applied will use the entry transition specified. The same default transition will also apply to items in a quick display playlist for that particular zone.
2. To start a line of script, select the + icon in the bottom left of the newly created button.  Give the button a name.  Examples for this application would be Default Fade Zone Transition, Default Cube Zone Transition, etc. You might also include all of your default zone transition script lines into a single button and name it Default Zone Transitions - All.

1. Click save, and then click the button to test.
2. To verify this is working, play content via script or playlist button and look for the transitions at the beginning. 

The steps for creating a default transition are demonstrated below:

Incorporating a Transition on a Play Command

In addition to being able to set a default transition for a zone, you can also choose a unique, or independent, transition for an individual play command script.  For example, if you wanted a particular sponsor graphic to enter with a Push Up transition, but the default for that zone is Fade, you could accomplish this by applying the Push Up transition in the individual sponsor button.
