How It Works
Player PC
All players on your network are PC with one or multiple outputs (eg LED screens attached).
Each player PC can have a backup PC to use if it fails.
- Each player PC has Acquire DX Player installed.
- An advanced version of the AcquirePremier.exe plays an Acquire project.
- Players belong to groups.
Acquire Project
An Acquire Project must be created to play on the Players.
The Acquire project contains:
-
A file describing the player's group and its outputs.
-
Playlists of content for the player's group.
-
A schedule of when to play those playlists.
-
Display mappings.
-
The content for those playlists.
These are typically configured as part of the initial setup and are configured on the Editor. When deploying, these files are sent to the players.
- The Acquire project is manage by the Acquire Advanced Editor
- The Editor can also be used to switch playlists for a group, and monitor player status.
- Players belong to groups.
- Each group has its own playlists.
- Events can be scheduled to change group playlists at certain dates and times.
- Group, players, and outputs are defined in a "groups.XML".
- This must be initially setup upon initial install to describe your system.
