iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V8.1.1)

Audition Method

Select one of the following options:

For On Screen, the media is shown on the iCOMPEL screen.

For Web Preview, the media is shown on a web page as a screen snapshot. The iCOMPEL creates a screen snapshot

by following these steps:

1. Turning off the Screen off and muting the audio, so that the new media is not displayed to the public.

2. Running the Audition media command.

3. Waiting for the media to start playing.

4. Creating a screen snapshot.

5. Running the Activate Schedule and Layouts command to restart the current Schedule.

6. Switching the Screen on and restoring the audio to its original level.

Web Preview is very useful for testing new media on the iCOMPEL when the user is not able to easily view the iCOMPEL

screen. Because web Preview turns off the screen and mutes the audio, it is also useful when new media should not been

seen before its addition to the Schedule.

One of the Audition ( ) button or the Preview ( ) button is shown whenever auditioning can be used.

more than one on the network.
