Video Playlist Enhancements
The following enhancements were made to improve the video playlist functionality:
•
Proof of play records are now available for video playlist items in a proof of play-enabled video
playlist. The record format is the same as non-video content such as .jpg and .swf files. Video
items are taggable with a tag containing special "_PoP" string. The proof of play records in the
final report will show the tag without the special "_PoP" string. Note that the content name from
the final report will be the name of the video item which can be differ from the actual physical file
name.

Known Issues

it was tuned to before the adhoc was invoked. This happens if the state it came from, and
returns to, does not have a specific channel selection action. For example the no channel
change action.

Confidence Monitor
A physical or virtual DMP in the control room can be configured as a ‘confidence monitor’ to mirror
the content being displayed on any DMP/TV in the stadium. This minimizes time spent doing stadium
walk-throughs to spot check and troubleshoot DMP and content-related issues. This feature is
available through the Control Panel Setup > Devices > Locations and DMPs option.
