6. Click Start Minimized to specify that upon starting the DekoMOS Macro Server will not
display this window, but will appear in the system tray.
To verify that the Macro Server is communicating with the Gateway:
When the Macro Server is correctly communicating with the DekoMOS Gateway, the LED
light next to Gateway/Styles status is green. If there is no communication, the light is red.
To verify that the Macro Server can confirm the existence of scheduled graphics, graphic
assets, and clips:
The LED lights next Template Graphics File Monitoring, and Replacement Graphic File
Monitoring should be green. The Macro server must be able to monitor these files to
communicate information to the Playback Controller.
To configure styles and corresponding local paths:
IMPORTANT: The same style names, but with local paths, must be entered in the configuration of the
Macro Server as were entered during Gateway configuration. For best performance, files for playout are
stored on the Deko. Duplicate files stored on the Gateway are accessed by the DekoMOS Browser.
1. Access the configuration window by clicking Start>Programs>Pinnacle Systems>
DekoMOS>DekoMOS Macro Server. If the Macro Server is already running, click the icon in
the system tray.
2. Click the Styles button to see the Deko Style Settings dialog.
3. To configure styles defined in the DekoMOS Gateway, select the Style Name from the
dropdown list and then set the appropriate paths that this style will use. When the Playback
Controller sets a style, Deko uses the paths defined by the style.
