8.1 Player Status
The Player status page provides details about what the iCOMPEL is currently playing and what it played recently. The
iCOMPEL refreshes this display automatically as it plays new content.
Select the tab for the option you require:
Playing Now – Displays a CPU usage graph for each zone. Compare this with the information on the CPU Load tab to
determine which media, or combination of media, imposes a high load on the iCOMPEL CPU.
Played Recently – Displays a list of recently displayed layouts and recently-implemented Advance To commands.
Screen Snap Shot – Displays a pixel-perfect image of the current screen display. You can also view a live-screen
display of what is running on the screen. See
CPU Load – Displays a graph of processor load sampled every second. Values of 90% and above indicate processor
overload (for example, video may not play smoothly as a result). To avoid CPU overload, you can change the media type
or change the order of items in the zones.
Note: The Home page displays the average CPU load over the last 60 seconds. The iCOMPEL displays a warning if
that value is 90% or above.
8.2 System Status
The System status page provides details of the environmental performance of your iCOMPEL.
Select the tab for the option you require:
°C 24 Hours – Viewing disk and CPU temperatures from the last 24 hours.
°C 30 Days – Viewing disk and CPU temperatures from the last 30 days.
Status – Viewing uptime, temperature, Ethernet, and memory metrics.
Hardware – Viewing iCOMPEL processor specification and memory capacity.
°C 24 Hours:
Illustrates disk and CPU temperatures from the previous 24 hours on separate graphs. Green lines indicate the safe
temperature range and red where the temperature is too high.
