You can combine folder play properties to create complex sequences to meet specific requirements. For example, you may
wish to set up a playlist that showed a sequence of music videos in a fixed order, and between each video show two
randomly selected advertisements followed by a corporate logo for a fixed time.
To create this sequence of folders, follow these steps:
1. Create three folders on the iCOMPEL as follows:
Music
Advertisements
Logo
2. Upload videos into the Music folder. Rename the video files as necessary to create the play order you want (for example,
'A Summer in the city.mpg, B Be my girl.mpg', and so on).
3. Upload the advertisements into the Advertisements folder.
4. Upload the logo into the Logo folder.
5. Create a playlist as follows:
Add the Music folder to the playlist, limit 1.
Add the Advertisements folder to the playlist with memory, limit 2.
Add the logo image as an individual file, duration 10 seconds.
