DMP: How do I play a web page?

Potential Symptoms

  • Pay back a web page (website) on a DMP-8000 Player
  • Web page playback
Simplify your workflow and reduce hardware by playing HTML content directly from your player.  There is no need for scalers to convert web pages to video, save inputs on your switcher. Open yourself up to a new world of content.  Web page playback is an advanced feature of the DMP-8000 player to seamlessly incorporates social media, weather, the latest updates from games occurring simultaneously around the league and other live web page data/graphics onto multiple displays throughout a venue. 

Environment

  • Product: DMP-8000 version 9 or later or DMP-5000 version 8.5 or later with internet access
  • Component: 
  • Control System: Show Control System/Display Studio

Resolution

Make a .URI File
  1. Open a new notepad file
  2. Type the URL (web address) into the notepad file. 
  3. Save file using .URI file extension into the content folder of the player you wish to play the web page from.
