Hover mouse over image to see alternate page.

The Display pages offer the ability to send control Presets to displays and projectors throughout the SignStream system.

The Control page includes two tools for display control.

• Presets - Sends a saved Preset to displays
• Preset Buttons - The first 12 saved Presets appear on the right side. Just click to send.
• Special Command - In addition to display Presets, there are other rarely used commands that can be sent when needed, provided with system documentation. This includes:

• Set display code - instructs a controller to use a different set of control codes for a different make and model of display.
• Tune analog or digital only - can lock an HD display to only tune digital or analog channels.
• Use CableCard tuning - switch to the 5-digit CableCard style digital tuning from normal two-part dashed (XX-XX) digital channel tuning

The Display Edit page offers the ability to create, copy, or edit new Command presets.  Note that Media Express assigns control commands to three entities:

• All Zones – All displays respond to a single Preset
• Zones – All displays within one of 15 Zones respond to a single Preset (the names of the Zones can be changed on the Display Setup page).
• Single Display – Sends Preset to one display address

Editing Modes

• Create New Preset –Clears fields to enter a new Preset
• Edit Existing Preset – Fills in the values of the selected Preset. Change and Save.
• Copy Existing Preset – Copies the values of the selected Preset. Change and Save.

• Zone – Select from 15 Zones or All Zones.
• Single Display – use radio button to select a command to a specific display.

• Volume - Set volume level 0 (Mute) to 63 (Full)

The Setup page defines whether SignStream connects to the system Head End via RS-232 or IP Telnet, the type of cable system (Air or Cable frequencies), and overall style of digital tuning (CableCard, 2-Part virtual channels, 2-part physical channels). The user can also change the names of Zones.
