Remote Control of Content
The simplest solution to write content that can be switched remotely is to use the menu_media.svg template in
the Interactivity folder in the My Templates Workspace pane. The menu_media.svg file lets you control which
media is currently being displayed, depending on the value of a shared variable. (For more information on
shared variables, please refer to the Shared Variables section on page 97.) This same template, used together
with the menu_buttons.svg, can be used to create menus on the IS-SPX-1000.
When to use remote control
The menu_media.svg template offers a menu blueprint that can:
Replace the current content temporarily for a predetermined time on an external event.
Replace the current content indefinitely on an external event.
Replace only part of the content temporarily or indefinitely, using the menu media as one of the
layers in a multilayer document.
Replace the content on external events, with the insertion of a short transition sequence dependent
on the trigger event.
How to use remote control
The first step is to define a table of all the possible media contents and associate a page ID to each one of them
(FIG. 41).
