Adding Commands
To add extended functions to your presentations, you can add commands to your playlist. Commands can help control
displays and devices (Display On, GPIO On, etc.) or perform additional actions when interactive events are performed
(Pause Video, Set Volume, etc.).
You can add commands in three distinct ways. If you add a command to the interactive event, the command will be
performed when that event occurs. When adding to an interactive event, you can either select a Next State or choose to
Remain on current state. If you add a command to a media file, the command will be performed when the file plays
(regardless of which state/event transitions to it).
To add a command to an interactive event: Double-click the event icon in the playlist area and click the Advanced arrow.
Click Add Command and use the dropdown list to specify a command. Use further dropdown lists and fields to set
additional parameters for the command. By default, Next State will be selected. You change the Next State by using the
dropdown list and selecting a different file in the playlist area. Or, if you want the command to occur within the original file
and create no state transition (e.g. increase volume of the video playing), select Remain on current state.
To add a command to a media file: Double-click the media file’s thumbnail in the playlist area and click the Advanced
arrow. Click Add Command and use the dropdown list to specify a command. Use further dropdown lists and fields to set
additional parameters for the command.
Note: There are a few other options under the Advanced arrow. They will depend on the type of file you have selected.
For image files, you will see a Store Image in Cache checkbox. Check this box to save the file in a cache and more
readily use it in the future. For video files, you will see Video Display Mode. Depending on the type of video file, use the
dropdown list to select the appropriate mode (2D, 3D side-by-side, or 3D top-over-bottom). By default, 2D is selected.
Here is the list of commands you can add to your presentations:
