Images may be ordered using the up and down arrow buttons.
You may choose to use the current audio, no audio or select a new audio file. Only 16 bit, 2 channel, 44
kHz wave files can be used for audio. Conductor will allow you to select a MP3 file for conversion but due
to copyright protection, this may not always work correctly. The audio file will be repeated over and over
during the presentation. This allows you to use a small audio file.
Once you have your content selected, you may preview it on the local computer by selecting the "Preview"
button.
The Save button allow you to save the settings (image list, timing, audio path) to a file. The Open button
can then be use to open the file later. This is useful when you want to load the same content on several
devices.
If you are happy with the content, select the OK button on the Local Play dialog to upload the data to the
receiver. This can be a time consuming process, especially if a large audio file is selected.
If content security has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter the password before updates are applied
to the device.
The Host Play dialog is identical to the Local Play dialog. A similar dialog is also used to load EMCast files
to a transmitter.

EMCAST

Conductor offers a powerful feature that allows the user to send emergency messages across the A/V
network. This feature is called EMCast. It works similar to the Host Play feature. You use the "EMCast
Files" menu option to load media content to the local transmitter. Each VTC103 transmitter unit comes pre-
loaded with an example EMCast image. By clicking the red button in the center of Figure 6 above, every
receiver on the video LAN will switch to this emergency message (shown in Figure 15 below) within a few
seconds.
