5.3 Additional Ad Hoc

Additional Ad Hoc features allow for greater customization of layout content. This is particularly useful in a channel, where a
network of players all play the same content.
Using additional ad hoc, multiple players in a channel can each show different content, controlled by ad hoc users locally. This
allows an organization to maintain a consistent appearance or brand image across a number of sites, while allowing local users
to upload their own content and change the layouts and playlists to which they have been given access.
The content types that can be used with additional ad hoc include:
Folder play
l
Layout
l
Schedule
l
Schedule override
l
Advance To
l
Folder play allows you to add a folder to a playlist and give ad hoc users permission to upload their own content into the folder.
For example, different GP practices with players in the same channel could carry different local information about late night
dispensing chemists.
Layouts allow the ad hoc user to select a layout for a specific time slot in the schedule. Typically, if an organization published
a channel with a layout for each department, an ad hoc user in each department could select the right layout for that location.
Schedule allows the ad hoc user to set the time when a layout should appear on the display. For example, if a lunch hour
layout has been scheduled, but times vary at different locations, local ad hoc users can set their times accordingly.
Schedule override allows the ad hoc user to display one of a selection of predefined layouts and not have this interrupted by
any other layout changes in the schedule. For example, this can be used to show a special TV event or display an emergency
message without interruption.
Advance To allows the ad hoc user on-demand control in several areas, including content selection. For example, this might
be useful in a foyer where the player is showing a corporate video in a continuous loop. The Ad hoc Advance To command
allows a local user to switch to live TV if required.
