Topic

  • How do you create MediaRTD Team names in Content Studio?
  • Media RTD displays images instead of alphanumerical real time data.  
This article is meant to show you how to put Media RTD into use. Refer to Show Control System: How do I create content with sport media RTD fields? ​​​​​​​

Environment

  • Product: Content Studio
  • Component: DakStats, Data Studio Baseball, DMP-8000
  • Control System: Show Control System (SCS)

Steps

This example uses DakStats Baseball as an example. However, this feature can be used with other stat programs and sports that interface with Daktronics Show Control System. 

Saving media

Naming media

  • Images must match the same name as the RTD field it will be linked to.
  • Team names usually come into the Daktronics system as the name of the team, e.g. Daktronics Bears would come into the Daktronics system as Bears. The file should be named TeamName.png - For the below example the file would be named Bears.png.
Additionally you can use the team name abbreviation and the file would be named the TeamAbbreviation.png.

Import the RTD Field

  1. Drag & drop into your presentation. 
RTD fields to use: 
  • Game In Progress: Baseball - Home/Guest Team Name
  • Game Stats: DakStats BA -  Home/Guest Team Name
  • Game In Progress: Baseball - Home/Guest Team Name Abbreviation
  • Game Stats: DakStats BA -  Home/Guest Team Name Abbreviation

The source can be either the All Sport, DakStats, or Data Studio Baseball. Daktronics recommends using the All Sport.
  1. Check the "Is media RTD" checkbox.  
  2. A popup window will open. Browse to the image you wish to associate with the RTD Field.
  3. When you select a file, you are not necessarily selecting the image that will always appear, rather a place holder that will allow you to properly place where you want the Media RTD to appear. The content that appears will depend on the naming of the files and the corresponding data.

Team name media considerations

These files are large letters on top of a solid background so that the team's name is fully visible or the wordmark logo for the team.
