Installing the DekoMOS Playback Controller
The DekoMOS Playback Controller may be installed on any machine with network access to the
Gateway and the Deko machines. Recommended practice has the DekoMOS Playback Controller
available within each control room since it is the control point for playout of Deko graphics.
The Gateway setting configures the communication between the Playback Controller and the
DekoMOS Gateway. This connection obtains the list of available rundowns and the components
in the rundowns.
