Manage Scripts

As you plan scripts for your events, be sure to follow the best practices including

managing the number of scripts that you maintain in the system.

Best Practices for Event Scripts

When working with event scripts, consider the following best practices:

Be sure to regularly manage your script list by removing any test scripts and other

outdated scripts from the system. Keep the overall script count to as limited a

number as possible and as needed for your venue.

Consider developing a content matrix that lists all of the zones / groups throughout

the venue and all of the states needed for an event. You can use a spreadsheet to

help keep track of the content and playlists needed for each state.

When working in an environment that has mixed DMP types, carefully consider

the device differences and design and plan event scripts accordingly.

NOTE: The best practice is to create groups of media players of

the same model type, and to create zones of like-model groups.

If using RS-232 for TV control, send the TV On/Off commands a couple of times to

allow for some TVs that might not respond the first time.

Use an ad-hoc state to display a moment of exclusivity such as a touchdown,

goal, stoppage in play or a sponsor venue domination.

If you want to display different content using the same template in different zones /

groups, you can save time by copying assigned actions from one zone / group to

another. You can then select different content to display in the template in the

copied zone / group.

It is important that you allow media players to load the runtime and get into a ready

state to receive and process new script actions. Therefore, be sure to define an

empty script state (without any actions or commands) as the first state in all event
