Display Studio How do I use the pause, stop and resume with buttons in Daktronics Show Control

Topic

  • Stop, Pause and resume playlist script commands in Display Studio
  • Pause content while I cover it with something else
  • Stop and Pause in DMP-8000 Player Control
  • Show Control's Display Studio script buttons

If a playlist needs to be stopped for an alternate message, the stop and resume can be used so the playlist does not need to restart at the beginning.  Stop would be used in place of Pause; the difference in functionality being that, once resumed, the item that was stopped would start over at the beginning instead of where it was paused.

Environment

  • Product: 
  • Components: Display Studio, Show Control 2.14.1.6+, DMP-8000, DMP-7000
  • Control System: Show Control System (SCS)

Steps

Creating a button to stop or pause a playlist or file.

Create a new script button or edit an existing button.  For details, see: Display Studio How do I create script buttons in a Daktronics Show Control System 


Create a new script line.

  1. DMP-8000 Player Control or DMP-7000 Player Control
  2. Choose the zone(s) that the playlist is running on.
  3. Choose Stop OR Pause
    • Stop: starts at the beginning of the content when resumed, no matter where it was in playback when stopped
    • Pause: resumes at the exact place it was paused
  4. Save. 
See animation below:

Create a button to resume the playlist or file

Create a new script line.

  2. Choose the zone(s) that the playlist is running on.
  3. Choose Resume.
  4. Save. 

Reporting

When playback of an item is stopped and then resumed in Venus Control Suite's Proof of Play, it is reported as a single play for the actual duration. For instance, if a 15-second animation is stopped 3 seconds in by a playlist to overlay a prompt and then resumed after the prompt ends, it will restart from the beginning and complete its full 15-second run. The report will record this as one play for 15 seconds. If the graphic is paused rather than stopped, Proof of Play will not include the paused time, reporting only the file's duration.
