Emergency Alert
The SMS features the ability to recognize an external
Emergency Alert signal and take one or more of the actions
enabled on the EMERGENCY OPERATIONS screen in
the SMS Controller application. Actions available in
response to an Emergency Alert signal are:
• Stop Current Show
• Disable Playback
• Lamp Douse
• Lamp OFF
• Audio Muting
• System Shutdown
Refer to the SMS Controller User’s Guide for additional
information relating to the Emergency Alert handling
capabilities of the system.
The availability of the Emergency Alert feature is set
during system installation and configuration.
When the System
Shutdown option has not
been enabled, the receipt of
an Emergency Alert causes
the alert message
illustrated to the right to
appear. Once the
Emergency Alert has been
cleared, tap OK and the message closes. If the Emergency
Alert has not been cleared the message will close but will
reappear some seconds later.
Playlist Elements
The hierarchy of a Show Playlist is intended to allow
inclusion of either Content (CPL), other Sub-Playlist(s) or
Commands. The structure of a typical Show Playlist is
shown in the illustration below.
Composition Playlist (CPL)
Composition Playlists (CPL) are shown on the right in the
above illustration and are the reference files required to
play the content.
CPLs exist on the lowest level of the Show Playlist (SPL)
hierarchy, and consist of the component files (e.g., video,
audio, subtitles) required for content playback.
Show Playlist (SPL)
As shown above, Show Playlists (SPL) are show lists that
consist of one or more CPLs with specified commands.
Multiple SPLs (containing CPLs and commands) can be
added as Sub-Playlists to a single additional layer of the
hierarchy.
Commands
Commands are Playlist Elements which are either
Automation Controls, i.e. external device triggers, (dim
house lights, open curtain, etc.) or Auditorium Unit control
events such as, Media Block Audio Control functions
(Muting) or Projector Control functions (Douser).
Commands or Functions may be designated as 3D type and
when these are included in a Playlist the SPL is identified
as a 3D Playlist even though no 3D Content is included.
