Steps

Saving media

DMP-8000 Supported File Types:  VMPL, VMPF, AVI, BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, MPG, MPEG, and SWF
  • Images must stored in the MediaRTD folder, located under C:\Program Data\Daktronics\VNET4\Content\MediaRTD

DMP-7000, see Venus 7000: How to display bitmaps based on data fields?

Naming media

  • Images must match the same name as the RTD field it will be linked to.
  • Save this file as "A.png" if using the DakStats Baseball feed or "AB.png" if using the Data Studio Baseball feed.

Import the RTD Field

  1. Select the correct profile [Baseball: MLB/MiLB/College (DakStats)] and drag and drop the proper lineup information needed for each batter being displayed.
  2. Check the "Is media RTD" checkbox.  
  3. A popup window will open. Browse to the image you wish to associate with the RTD Field.
  4. 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.

What Content Studio Field you should use:

  • Game Stats: DakStats BA
  • Game Stats: Data Studio Baseball In-Venus Feed
