Content Studio: How do I enable fixed width or mono spacing for my digits

Topic

The Fixed Width Digit Spacing feature allows for fixed or mono spacing for number values.  This keeps the numbers aligned with the colon for clocks or the decimal for other values.  

This is a resolution to Dynamic Content “jitters” or “jumps around” when playing

Environment

  • Product: Content Studio
  • Component:
  • Control System: Show Control Suite 2.24 or later, SCS

Steps

  1. In Content Studio, create or open a presentation with a numeric RTD element.  Clock Time would be an example.  
  2. Select the RTD element and click on the Fixed Width Digit Spacing button from the tool bar.  
  3. This will align the numerical data in a fixed location around the clock's colon to prevent the appearance of jumping on the display.
