System operation precautions
• Scroll message content
Displaying scroll messages requires a great deal of CPU processing power. When using scroll messages,
programs should be tested by actually displaying them before operation.
· Making the background color transparent will increase the load.
· Scroll messages with a larger display area place a larger load on the PC. Do not make the scroll message
display area unnecessarily large.
· If there are a lot of characters in a scroll message line, display may become distorted. If this occurs, start a
new line. (Up to 100 characters per line recommended.)
• PowerPoint
Set PowerPoint data so that it plays repetitively by setting slide transition to advance slides automatically
(automatic slideshow).
PowerPoint Viewer is not capable of simultaneous multiple display. Do not assign PowerPoint files to multiple
frames in the same program. It should also be noted that PowerPoint Viewer only proceeds to play slideshows
when the focus is on itself. Do not click other frames with the mouse or another tool when PowerPoint content
is displayed.
The new file format of PowerPoint 2007 (.pptx) is not supported. Save content in ppt format.
PowerPoint Viewer 2003/2007 is required. Even if you already have Microsoft PowerPoint 2003/2007 installed
on your PC, you must make a separate installation of PowerPoint Viewer 2003/2007.
Continuous operation of target PC
This software is not designed for continuous 24-hour-a-day operation. Be sure to turn the power off on the
target PC every day. (Refer to Power Control on p.71)
PC internal clock
This software executes schedules based on the PC's internal clock. You should ensure that your PC's
internal clock is always accurate by synchronizing it with an internet time server or other means.
Accuracy of program display time
Program display is controlled by a timer that starts at 0 seconds every minute. Programs cannot be switched at
intervals of less than 1 minute, or during a 1 minute interval (i.e. in intervals of less than 60 seconds).
Be aware that there may be some delay before content is actually displayed depending on the time taken to
launch applications that display content and the time taken to load content files.
Backups
This software does not have a backup function. You should make regular backup copies of content files,
etc., during operation.
Daisy chain configuration
This software cannot send different panel control commands (monitor power supply ON/OFF and panel input
commands) to individual SHARP LCD monitors (PN series) connected in a daisy chain.
Still images
The Network Version of SHARP Digital Signage Software can send different panel control commands (monitor
power supply ON/OFF and panel input commands) to SHARP LCD Monitors (PN Series) connected in a daisy
chain. (Refer to Panel Management and Option, p. 78)
Date display
This software displays the date in YYYY/MM/DD format.
