7.3.Menu „Settings -> Incoming messages”
“Message is displayed on the screen for minimum (sec)”
ATTENTION: This is a very important system function. Please read carefully.
This parameter defines in seconds the minimal period of time, how long the massage will
stay on the screen. The setting prevents messages received from the audience from
scrolling too fast on the screen. It is recommended to keep this setting at reasonable
value, especially when the audience sends a lot of messages. If the message stays on the
screen for too long it will block other incoming messages from displaying and they will be
put in queue. The rule of thumb is: the more messages are sent by the audience, the
lower the value of this parameter should be.
The settings of this parameter also affects the time of displaying incoming messages in
full screen mode (see below). The period of time when the message is being displayed in
full screen mode cannot be longer than the “Minimal period of time when message is
visible on the screen”.
„Message is displayed in full screen mode for minimum (sec)”
If this option is set to more than 0 seconds, incoming messages will be displayed in a
full-screen mode (Fig. 16). The maximum length in seconds of the full-screen mode
depends on the setting "Message is displayed on the screen for minimum (sec)”
described in the previous section. The longer a message stays on the screen, the longer
it can be displayed in a full-screen mode. For example, if "Message is displayed on the
screen for minimum (sec)" is set to 15 seconds, then the maximum length in seconds of
the full-screen mode is 15 seconds.

„Show time in front of messages on the screen”
If this option is checked, every message displayed on a big screen will be preceded by
the arrival time of the message in the format <hour>: <min>: <sec>, as is shown in
figure 17. The message counter will not be shown.
