MvTv Repeater Administrator Features:
  Video Inventory:
  To add or delete videos to the Repeater Server (if you have a video clip, browse to it and add it).
Clip Running Times are not mandatory, however are recommended.
   
  Group Management:
  Use to Create different groups of Clients (each Group can play a different playlist if you wish)
"Caption" is scrolling text that appears below playing videos. Add a "space" you don't want a caption.
If you leave the Caption field blank, "Please change or delete this Caption" becomes the Caption by default.
To change or delete it, select the check box beside that Group, then change the caption (or leave blank), then select Update Checked Group. If you wish to delete a Group, select the Group's check box, then select "Delete Selected Group", and select Yes when prompted. If you have more than one Client and Group, you can move Clients to other Groups by selecting the Group, then choosing available clients in the "Add to Group" box, then clicking on the right arrow button to move that client. You can also move clients by selecting them from the "Client Stations in Group" box and clicking on the left arrow button.
   
  Client Station Management:
  Station Clients are the devices that play the scheduled playlist content. They need to be members of Groups.
Even though different Clients may be located in different locations, all clients that belong to the same Group play the same content. If Clients are to play different content, then they should be created in different Groups, which can be created in the Group Management section. To create a new Client, add the new Client's name to the "Client Station Name or Location" field. Select which Group you want your new Client to be in, then click on the "Add New Client Station" button.
You can activate or deactivate a Client Station by selecting its' check box, then selecting "Activate/Deactivate Client Stations. You can delete a Client Station by selecting its' check box, then selecting "Delete Checked Client Stations.
   
  Playlist Management:
  Playlist are what you create so that Clients play what you want in the order you have chosen.
The Main Playlist is created for you by default. You can change it by selecting clips from the "Videos" box and then clicking on the right arrow. To move a clip in the Playlist order, select it in the "Playlist Order" order box, then click the up or down arrows to move the clips order in the playlist. Keep in mind that changes to active playlists occur in realtime... clicking submit is not necessary. You can create new playlists by clicking on the "Add New Playlist" button, add the Playlist Description, then click on Accept.
You can change a Playlists' name by selecting the checkbox beside a playlist, then selecting "Update Description".
You can Activate/Deactivate a playlist by selecting the checkbox beside a playlist, then selecting "Activate/Deactivate".
You can Delete a playlist (as long as it hasn't been used already), by selecting the checkbox beside a playlist, then selecting "Delete Playlist".
   
  Schedule Playlists:
  The default Main Playlist is scheduled by default when you install the Administrator. You only need to schedule playlists if you have more than one playlist.
You can schedule when you want playlists for different groups to change. The Schedule Playlists page also allows you to create multiple playlists for each Group.
To schedule a playlist, select the Start Date from the drop down box, select the Group that the playlist should apply to from the Group drop down list, then click in the timeslot that the playlist should start playing from, and select the playlist from the drop down list, by clicking on the down arrow and selecting the available playlist. (If a playlist is missing, the program may need to be refreshed. Just close the Admin program and reopen it).
Playlists will play for each group until a new playlist is scheduled.
   
  Broadcast Monitoring:
  Allows you to see a history of what’s played on the Clients. Every time a Client plays a clip, it sends that information to the server. You can see how many times clips have played during a time period on a Client Station by selecting the report start (From Date), the end (To Date) and then selecting the video from the drop down list, then selecting "Generate Impressions Report".
